Figurine Lamp Pipe – How to Make a Figurine Lamp

Figurine lamp pipe is a type of PVC tubing that has an offset bend for use with figurines. It is available in lengths of up to 12 inches. The angled cut of this type of tubing makes it easier to insert a figurine into the socket without having to force the figurine into position. This type of tubing is available from many hardware stores, but you can also order it online.

The first step in making a figurine lamp is to pick out the figurine that you want to use. This can be a favorite piece of decor or something purchased specifically for the purpose of becoming a lamp. It is important to choose a figurine that fits the base that will be used for the lamp. It is also a good idea to keep in mind the height of the base that will be needed for the lamp.

After selecting the figurine, the next step is to prepare the pipe for insertion into the figure. To do this, remove any covers or caps from the ends of the tube and clean the inside of the tube. This will help to ensure a tight fit when the figurine is inserted. It is a good idea to use an alcohol wipe for this step.

Next, the angled cut of the tubing should be cleaned with a rag. This will make sure that the tube is free from any dirt and debris that could prevent proper sealing when gluing. A good quality utility knife or hacksaw can be used to do this. Lastly, the tubing should be cleaned using a solvent that is safe for use with PVC. After all of this is done, the figurine lamp can be glued into place.

Before attempting to work on any electric lamp or fixture, it is always best to disconnect or unplug it from any source of electricity. This will protect you from any potential electrical shock or fire.

After a few hours of drying time, it is now time to wire the lamp. If you are unsure about how to do this, it is recommended that you seek out the advice of a professional or licensed electrician.

To wire the lamp, start by feeding the NEUTRAL strand of wire through the bottom of the socket until it is almost completely inside. Then, feed the strand through the little safety arm ring thing that is attached to the silver terminal.

After that, you can begin to add in the other strands of wire. Once all the strands of wire are connected, the lamp is ready to be plugged in and turned on. Enjoy your new DIY figurine lamp and don’t be afraid to experiment with other types of pipes to create more unique lamps for your home. It’s a fun and easy way to save money on expensive store-bought fixtures. You can even splice in a power switch to make your lamp more functional and stylish!
