Professor Fzz’s Copper Water-Valve Lamp

Professor Fzz's Second Copper Tubing Lamp

You may remember the good Professor Fzz’s previous copper tubing lamp – well he has created another, inspired by the look of a steam engine water level tube (much like the one on the back of a fire engine).  Not only are there beautiful photographs of the finished article (and surrounded by so much brass!) but there is yet another amazingly detailed page on the construction of the lamp as well.  Professor Fzz really does have a way with Steampunk themed light sources, it must be said, and an ingenius use of all those shiny connectors and pipe bits that I so frequently see in my local DIY warehouse, but cannot think of an excuse to let me buy.

I also like to point out that the good Professor now has a site where he has collected his various lamps and indeed some wonderfully steam themed photographs both modern and antique – Steam, Brass and Fzz.  Lovely!

    This is mainly a test as my comment to the microscope post failed to appear, but I love the lamp.

    Sorry Mr Sandorm, occasionally the spam filter gets a little overenthusiastic - I've found your other comment and despammed it. It shouldn't happen again.

    very cool...
    but its a real shame that you can't get a lightbulb anywhere that gives of the real steampunk shade amber.
  • perhaps Professor Fzz reads these comments. I wanted to see if he would reveal his source for these delicious light bulbs. Or maybe some one knows his contact info.

    thanks

    According to the thread on the Steampunk Forum, Professor Fzz used standard strip lights run at 7.5W instead of 30W.

    I do believe your filter has caught one of my comments again. In the future I will refrain from inserting links.

    I really am terribly sorry - I've despammed your other comment. I'm not sure why it's taking offence, generally it puts a comment into moderation if there's more than two links, but it may be that your domain has been hijacked and associated with spam in the past. It should 'learn' not to choke on it so.

    I apologise sincerely.
  • very good!
