How to make a DIY Steampunk Copper Lamp

So today I decided to making a Steampunk copper pipe lamp using 15mm copper tube and compression fittings.

First thing to say is if you are trying this yourself please make sure you consult a professional electrician when it comes to the wiring. Copper is a conductive material and incorrect wiring can lead to electric shock.

I used 15mm copper pipe and 15mm compression elbows and tee's to make this lamp. I used a copper lamp holder purchased from ebay. All joints were simply tightened with pliers to ensure the whole build was secure.

I opted for a nice LED filament light which aded to the look over the lamp.

Hope you enjoy the video.

Though that will work you can make the base with soldered fittings that are cheaper in the US. Either one is good.

Do the pipes need some kind of impregnation?
