Homemade light fixtures that are pure works of art « on: June 21, 2021, 10:24:04 PM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
On this forum topic, please share any homemade light fixtures that you created that have a completely original design. Converted prefabricated fixtures and lamp test boards with exposed ballasts are not allowed. The photo that I have posted below shows a completely homemade original mercury vapor fixture that is shaped like a human stick figure. It is created entirely by myself with individual parts entirely assembled by me.

Do these count? LED Christmas tree made by me and a wood shoebox fixture.

Your fixture designs look great, but I forgot to mention that homemade fixtures that have designs based off already existing fixtures do not count. <admin edit: unnecessary quoting including images removed>

I once had a modified T5 emergency fluorescent fixture running an 18watt SOX above my front door, yes I know it was already a light fitting, but it was just an empty canopy, the lamp support, holder bar and reflective plate had to be done by scratch!

Yeah sorry, see my edit   , I suppose my only home made fixture was my 50 watt mercury dog bowl lantern!, but it can’t really be called a work of art!
