Nice. Lots of details on the top which won't be seen when the lights are hanging above eye-level.

I will be going all Arts & Crafts and making my own lights for the bedroom. When I told my wife this, she groaned and said we'll be using head-torches for a couple of years then, waiting for me to get around to it.

Nice, but a lot of effort, as Mike says, to be above eye level, unless they are to be hung low.

I like the idea though.

I must be missing something but why all that extra fittings on the top - won't it hang without it?
