September 19th: living space jar lighting

we made more jar lights!


This time Al actually wired them so that they now work on our light switch. So we cut off the end of the socket plugs we got from ikea...


cut holes in the top of the jars just like before


wrapped the wires with twine...


and Al wired them in!


tah-dah! We used low-wattage bulbs which turned out nice so that they don't blind you when you look at them and also just so that the whole thing is less than 100 watts total for less energy. Chris and Julia are moving 2 units over so when they take out their table/pinball/wall stuff in a few days, we're gonna shift the whole living room over and back (which is why the lights don't look centered...they aren't yet!). Next up...jar chandelier for the dining "room"!!!!!
