@dosiss: I counted 30 bulbs. Which means at 60 watts per bulb, we're talking 1800 watts. What a terrific way to waste money!
BTW, eco-friendliness, green movement and global warming (more like global warming scare tactics) are all overrated! The bottom line should be about money out of pocket.
anonymous: it was for me your answer, i think. i don't mind green movements, or anything like this, i think only about being reasonable, sensible, how to explain. in a room you usually don't need so much watts. and yes, with such a global crisis, it's an unreasonable way to waste money. by it's only my opinion, you don't need to feel offended or hurt.
I really like it, 200 watts isn't much and you could wire it so there were switches to enable a few, some, lots, or all the lamps on at once. Nice one Jay!

If you look at the photos or actually read the post you will notice that this is a hack for an art gallery, maybe they need that amount of light.
ReplyDeleteHi all-
ReplyDeleteThe chandelier uses mini CFL bulbs that pull 5 watts each, 40 lamps in all = 200 watts.
This is kinda creepy...it reminds me of GLaDOS from Portal lol.

ReplyDeleteDo not solder household currents.
ReplyDeleteThis was a triumph!
