For this, the master spent a lot of time collecting all the necessary components, found and exchanged brass taps and rams from acquaintances in garages, bought them at a flea market at a reasonable price, ordered Edison's lamps on Aliexpress, as well as cartridges with relays and rams for adjusting the brightness glow lamp.
The parcel was waiting for a couple of months, when it was full of happiness, but when checking one of the cartridges was defective, namely, the relay was faulty and when the lamp was screwed in, it just exploded, it was good that I checked it with an ordinary light bulb, not Edison)))

Drives, nickels, crosses, tees, corners, and an old rusty crane.
Pyatak was used by the author as a fixture to the wall, namely, it was welded to the flange and holes were drilled.
In fact, the bracket will be made, then the ready-made version will be shown, but for now only fitting parts.
At a flea market, he bought a couple of pressure gauges from junk shoppers.
Pressure gauges were already inoperative, and this is unnecessary in principle, they play a purely decorative role, the price for them was also symbolic, which is pretty good.
I ordered Edison lamps and cartridges with gold-colored relays from the Chinese on Aliexpress.
The sending took a long time, about 2 months, after unpacking the cartridges it was immediately decided to test them for operation and when the lamp was screwed into one of the cartridges connected to the network, an explosion occurred, that is, the lamp flickered, and the reason was that the relay in the cartridge was faulty and it was impossible to restore it, so I had to order again and wait 2 months :(
Old metal lambs from cranes were found and exchanged, bought from flea marketers.
It was hard to find the old brass water taps; I was lucky enough to get rich by as much as 3 pieces.
A wicker cord was also purchased.
Two spray cans (black and gold)
The pressure gauge was dismantled before painting.
On pyataks are driven over.
Details over painted carefully sanded and degreased.
First, elements such as taps and valves are painted in gold.
Everything is ready for assembly, one spray of paint was enough for the whole painting.
The base is assembled from the overhangs of crosses, corners and tees.
The base is painted black.
After the paint dries, it is necessary to drag the electric wires inside the pipe and bring it to the cartridges.
Then the base is attached to the wall and gilded taps are installed, the wire is pulled out.
Cartridges are connected and Edison lamps are screwed in.
Turn on the light, everything is on.
It turned out very cool.
The light is pouring from a faucet, cool)
In the twilight.
The long-awaited moment has come and it is wonderful)
As you can see, it is quite possible to make a lamp in the Loft style on your own, only first you need to dial a lot of old plumbing elements in order to save as much as possible. You have step-by-step instructions, so we take and do it. Go for it friends!
