Steampunk Pipe Lamp Looks Good in Any Laboratory

So, you're a Victorian-era mad scientist, and you need more light in your cavernous laboratory. What better to provide it than this steampunk pipe lamp, crafted from brass plumbing and long-length incandescent bulbs? The creation of "Fzz (Prof.)," the wonderful finishing touch is the use of a valve as the power switch.

"Following on from my previous Steampunk Lamp, here's something a little more minimalist this time. I wasn't aiming for it to look like anything in particular, but I vaguely had in mind the idea of water level gauges on steam locomotives."

The contruction process was photojournaled here, revealing one happy coincidence that helped make it all possible: the bulbs used just happen to fit perfectly into the 15mm plumbing brass.
