Industrial suspension light made from plumbing pipes
Suspension light in 3/4'' (20x27mm) cast iron and steel fittings
Luminaire description:
This spectacular luminaire has been made from black cast iron plumbing fittings of size 3/4'' i.e. 20/27mm. This is a size very well suited to this type of project. Just be careful to have a solid fixing point, as the piece will be relatively heavy!
This 4 bulb suspension has been accessorised with red Handwheel and manometer to further enhance the industrial feel.
The socket kits were not screwed into the fittings, but hung from the end of the power cables. The rust-look sockets add a new hue that responds to the steel and rope.
The rope look of the cables used blends beautifully with the raw cast iron for an original and authentic result.
