This was the second commission from a client who now has five of my lights, three of which are on this website. She had a specific need for a lamp she could roll around her kitchen. The light over the center island, where she does most of her food preparation, did not give off the light she needed for much of her work. I created this mostly aluminum lamp to solve her problem. It involved a bunch of new things I had never tried before. The light hood is a funnel I bought at a farm store. It is 8" in diameter at its widest point. The light head includes a full range dimmer. The dimmer socket fits into a black steel cover backed up by an aluminum disc and a Paperstone collar. The neck is a piece of aluminum flex tubing I picked up from a scrap yard (I recycle metals into my work as much as possible). The bottom of the neck has another Paperstone collar and an aluminum disc. The pole is a heavy, 1/4" thick wall, 1-1/4" diameter pipe. The finish was created by pressing the pipe into a wire wheel until it started to distress the metal surface. There are two metal cleats attached to the pole for the 15’ of cord the client wanted, so she could wheel it over to her knitting chair. The pole ends with a couple more aluminum discs with a round, heavy, weight sandwiched in between. The base is steel and has been sanded and sprayed with multiple coats of satin clear lacquer. The entire base, between the wheels and the top of the pan, is filled with shot gun shot. Under that is a “weight pot” full of more shot. The lamp stands 66 " tall and the base is 10" in diameter.
