New 6-bulb Lamp

I made a 6 bulb lamp a few weeks ago, it still has some finishing touches that need to be done, but it’s been a nice thing to have around. The fixtures hang at the end of cords at varying lengths. The cords collect at the top and are wired into one long plugged cord. Currently I have it plugged into a footswitch which has been working out very well. I chose to put compact flourescent bulbs in for a couple reasons.. The consume far less power than standard incandescents and they don’t produce nearly as much heat. Since I knew the bulbs woud be resting against other fixtures and cords, it is good that they don’t get too hot. Each bulb consumes 15watts of power for 90watts of light from CFLs.. in other words, it’s really quite bright. Though the light from it is very soft due to the overall length of the lamp. So far I like it alot. Here’s a photo:

I’d show the whole thing but then I’d have to show the wall that it’s hanging near and that’s not in the best of shape right now, so this’ll have to do :)
