How a plumbing pipe wall light is put together correctly

[@FutureChaosTV]

Finally, someone EARTHING metal components in lamps correctly!

[@UIV7096]

Beautiful! Just moved into a new home, and I was gifted about three years ago with a box of pipes from a table so I dismantled the pipes and save them. I wish I could’ve kept the word, however, wanted to do something with the pipes and make some sort of art work, but this is pretty cool, so thank you so much for sharing.

[@MrBobWareham]

Very nice I am pleased to see you are using an earth wire I have seen some videos with no earth, and it is very dangerous, the light looks good a nice design cheers Bob in the UK

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Thanks Bob, we do our best to encourage DIY best practice.

[@jessicagiangreco7104]

This is gorgeous! I wish I had found you 6 months ago. I bought my sons a fixture that was unassembled and boy, was it a pain to install! Great build! Subscribed, can't wait to see what's next.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Glad it was helpful!

[@unityunity7355]

I have to make this! This is the coolest thing!

[@DavidPinner-z1z]

I see that you painted the pipe you used to help tighten and alignment

[@neila484]

As a plumber i made these pipe lamps 45 years ago 😂😂

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Fantastic, I think plumbing pipe has been used for lighting for quite some time

[@derfsenoj7439]

Lol, yes

[@erhantimur]

Very nice, it would have been nice to have shown the final product complete with bulbs.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

There should be a link to that in the description.

[@guillermodelamora5873]

Gracias, buenas ideas.

[@ricardotello3219]

¿Y la lista de materiales con sus medidas? Gracias

[@steveday6860]

Great stuff guys. One question, how was your earth connection through the glue?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

It seems that the thread lock substance works fine and we usually only need a small drop of lock tight on one parts of the thread in any event.

[@mrrogerdeleon]

So detailed. Incredible work

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@SW-cu7sh]

Great video. What type of spray paint are you using which binds to the galvanized paint so well?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We clean and sometimes sand blast then use an Automotive subframe etch primer in black

[@KilkennyLights]

Frank here. Great Video. Please can you tell me where to buy the e 26 with 10 mm screw and the gun barrel receiver. Gratzie a mile

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Thanks Frank. These are listed as 120Volt items on our US website. Listed under DIY components. Let us know if you find everything there. edisonlightglobes.com/120V/diy-hardware/ Sockets are here edisonlightglobes.com/120V/product-category/hardware/e26-sockets/

[@tahirmahmood6316]

Hi , look amazing,, just a side note,, isn't that 1/4 inch UK compression joints?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Which part are you referring to?

[@tubalcain1]

Very nice!! Do you have a materials list and materials supplier?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We do list all of the components we have on our website but it may be you need to make up a design first. These are pretty random.

[@tubalcain1]

@EdisonLightGlobes Ok, thank you!! I was mostly interested on a supplier for those light sockets.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

@@tubalcain1 Yep we certainly stock sockets.

[@doublefresh_by]

Great job! Well done! If it's not a secret, in what program did you make the drawing?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

To do all of our 3D design for this type of product we use Inventor.

[@doublefresh_by]

@@EdisonLightGlobes Thanks

[@sanskritijha957]

beautiful....can u pls list the no of parts with name n size...and a closeup of the pic...

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We do have a list of parts and sizes but not online specifically for this wall light. You should email us perhaps.

[@72rallye440]

Incredible work! Do you guys offer the plans for pipe/parts list?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

At the moment no but we may consider that if the plans prove useful. It may be we could sell kits as parts with plans.

[@72rallye440]

@@EdisonLightGlobes thanks for the response. I would be interested in a kit with all the parts if you guys are ever interested in offering it.

[@arturkatai1664]

I love your works. Amazing. Which software do you use for planning?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We use Inventor.

[@arturkatai1664]

@@EdisonLightGlobes thanks!🤘

[@adamclacher]

Amazing work! What are the adapters that you put the bulbs into? - the bright silver end bits

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

I think you mean the parts that connect sockets/lamp holders to pipe? These are listed on our website, we have these machined for purpose. edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/diy-hardware/ edisonlightglobes.com/120V/diy-hardware/

[@AJapaneseDream]

Was wondering if you could provide the info regarding the part that goes from the pipe into the socket. I can't find information anywhere on these sizes and the fact you got it threaded in there without glue or pressure fit is exactly what I want to achieve. Amazing videos BTW new sub here.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

It will depend on the nipple size for your socket but it may be one of these. Perhaps the 10mm version. edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/shop/hardware/couplings/plumbing-pipe-light-fitting-coupler-10mm/ edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/shop/hardware/couplings/plumbing-pipe-light-fitting-coupler-half-inch/

[@AJapaneseDream]

@@EdisonLightGlobes thanks so much!

[@MarkBrown-gc6hr]

I would like to know if loctite is conductive?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Good question. As a rule we use just a little on one side of the thread but even though it spreads we test conductivity and it seems to allow contact for metal surfaces without impeding conductivity.

[@cuttlefish1252]

I'm confused on the wiring. Shouldn't each build have 4 wires to be wired in parallel? Thanks for the email!

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

You would need 4 wires for all sockets except for the last one on the line of parrallel. In this video we build from the last globe in the light back to the first near the J-Box mount. For this light also we can end at the J-Box with 4 wires from two different parts of the light that are parallel and then connect them in parallel inside the J-Box. It all depends on the wiring difficulty for the assembly. You could take each pair to the J-Box but that would get a bit more difficult to install.

[@Craigpv2d]

Nice build video. What brand/model is that wire strippers?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Thanks. Weidmuller Stripax they seem to be lasting us around 5 years till they fail.

[@graemefell7738]

Looking at building something similar. Just want to check the electrical side. What type wire did you use for this; 18 gauge? I'm looking at making an 8 lamp version using power from two boxes on the same switch (design reason + hard to get that many wires through 1/2 inch pipe) on a 15amp circuit. I am assuming that the wire used is based solely on the draw of each bulb if wired separately to the junction box, so 18 gauge is okay for the all wiring within the fixture, even if 100w bulbs were used?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We use the cable that we have manufactured for this purpose. For North America. edisonlightglobes.com/120V/diy-hardware/ You would be unlikely to require 100 Watts per globe however.

[@tonyyoussef3623]

Hi , if you use a plastic socket , do you still need to wire it to a ground wire ? or you can connect the steel pipes to a ground wire and that's it . Thanks , again your lights are awesome :)

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

If you can connect all the pipe work to ground then you should do that yes.

[@daleburnett6446]

how much would this cost sent to US

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

This will depend on your full address. It is a quote that the website can supply once you add to cart and include shipping address.

[@gwolstenholme5446]

Please could somebody explain why there are 4 wires at only one of the points for a lamp holder?

[@gwolstenholme5446]

This is stunning btw

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

I am not sure where the 4 wires are that you are referring to. Lamp holder will have 2 wires and one will have an earth as well. The others do not need an earth since the earth is all connected together via the pipe work

[@gwolstenholme5446]

@@EdisonLightGlobes Thank you for responding. I was just curious as at 6:21 there are 4 wires, but when you show the example of attaching the light fitting there are 2 wires. I was just wondering why.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

@@gwolstenholme5446 So the 4 wires are required when you loop into a lamp holder. These take power in then out to go to the next lamp holder. They are wired in parallel this way so that we reduce the amount of cable inside the pipe

[@tajeddinehadri2072]

Ras lighting do 1/2 = DN15?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

I am not sure what the question is.

[@bdove2007]

What’s the name of this light bulbs in the thumbnail?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

There are a range of globes in this light. All are listed on the link in the description. edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/shop/fittings/wall-lights/plumbing-pipe-5-bulb-wall-feature/

[@derfsenoj7439]

Ips = international pipe size Mip = male iron pipe Fip = female iron pipe

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Never seen IPS used here. Where are you located?

[@BhanuPartap-zl3eg]

Nice 🙏🙏🗡️👌💯

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

Thanks

[@wandmb2623]

Where did you find the mounting plates? Those are perfect.

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

We designed these in-house and have them cast in various metals specifically for this purpose.

[@hollaatme1motime]

what is part number on the light pieces ?

[@EdisonLightGlobes]

There are a lot of pieces to this light but the parts may be found on our DIY hardware page. edisonlightglobes.com/Shop/diy-hardware/ Let me know if there is a specific part you are referring to.
