There’s a sense of pride that comes with any D.I.Y. project. Even when said project is fairly straightforward there is still a “raise your glass to a job well done” feeling that comes with its accomplishment. So, while the toughest part of this Coil Lamp Kit may be getting your extension cord out of the gigantic knot it is currently in (we recommend just buying a new 100 foot one to use anyway) the fact that you had a hand in the creation of your new light-source only adds to its value. We’ll be honest, we’ve never thought to use one of our neon orange cords as a piece of decorative art but then again we never thought an axe would make a good coat hanger either. With the kit you get the frame of the lamp, bulb adapter and instructions, you just supply the bulb and untangled cord.
