Made of authentic steel plumbing pipe with malleable iron fittings, our DIY pipe lamp is perfectly suited to a variety of decor schemes and aesthetics. Adjust the bulb brightness for comfort while reading or dim it down for some quiet reflection. We recommend pairing your new metal pipe lamp with an Edison bulb to accentuate the rustic aesthetic. It also works with LED bulbs if energy efficiency is what you seek. Each piece in this industrial pipe lamp kit is the standard size and weight used in industrial pipe applications. Do not accept cheap substitutes available in decorative materials. Because our products are made from authentic malleable iron and black steel, they require cleaning and sealing prior to use. All our pipes come coated with protective oil to prevent rust during transit. Step-by-step cleaning instructions are included in every order. This pipe lamp kit comes with all necessary pipes, fittings and swag kit needed for assembly. Light bulb is not included.
