I needed a wall sconce for the shop and figured I could make one from some black iron pipe. Shopping list is as follows and is in Canadian pescos:
$1.68 1x Fitting Black Iron Plug 1/2 Inch
$4.68 1x Fitting Black Iron Floor Flange 1/2 Inch
$2.58 1x Black Steel Pipe Nipple 1/2 Inch x 5 Inch (adjust length to suite situation)
$2.98 1x Fitting Black Iron Reducing Tee 3/4 Inch x 1/2 Inch
$5.97 1x Rubber Pigtail Socket
$4.78 1x Guard Cage For Light Bulbs, White
total for the fixture is $22.67 + tax.
$8.08 1x 01321 60W Vintage Edison S60 Squirrel Cage Incandescent Filament Light Bulb, E26 Base
You'll also need some black spray paint meant for plastic and some polyurethane glue. The glue is meant to hold the rubber pig tail socket in place and the paint is of course for the light cage, which comes in white. I've wired this in parallel to the shop fan and will install a toggle switch so the light can be switch off separately.
