You just have to prepare this material:

- 1 m (16 mm diameter) copper tube: about 10$

- 5 female/female copper connector (16 mm diameter): about 2$ each

- 1 light bulb socket

- 1 electrical wire with plug and a on/off switch

- 1 electric wire (> 1 m) and 1 terminal block strip (If you do not find an appropriate wire with 1 meter between the switch and the +/- wire)

- 1 connected light bulb (or a normal one)

- 1 metal saw

- 1 electric screwdriver

1. Saw the copper tube into 6 parts as follow :

1 x 25 cm

3 x 18 cm

2 x 10,5 cm

2. Put them together in order to have the structure done

Steps 3, 4 and 5 are in case of you do not find an appropriate wire with 1 meter between the switch and the +/- wire (it was my situation)

3. Connect the electric wire with the light bulb socket (look on the internet to find the way you have to do it for your country)

4. Insert the electric wire into the copper structure

5. Connect on one side of the terminal strip the electric wire and on the other side (+ on + ; - on -) the electric wire which have switch and plug

6. Put the light bulb into the light bulb socket

7. Just plug it and switch on.
