Inspiration
After being asked repeatedly over the years how to make a lamp safely I decided I had to source all the parts you need to make an awesome lamp and create an instruction manual because there were too many people to help and only one of me!
Technical specification
All parts are made to British Standard and are made with 3 cores for UK mains electricity – meaning they are earthed & as safe as you can get.
When you purchase your lamp kits you will also receive a downloadable step by step guide with everything you need to know to make amazing lamps yourself at home. Kits are designed to be used by adults, anyone under the age of 18 must be supervised by a competent adult.
Tools are not included.

Super Easy way to Use - No drilling
The easiest way to use this kit is with a standard mouth preserve jar that the centre lifts out of – this means you don’t even need to drill a hole for your wire! You will use the two lamp holder rings provided to clamp to either side of the preserve jar lid (with the centre lifted out – see images for example). Full instructions are provided with detailed imagery of the step by step process to guide you seamlessly through this exciting build – download the instructions on purchase, the lamp kit will be with you a few days.
This, and my ‘Turn anything into a lamp’ kit are the kits we use at all my lamp making workshops, I have helped hundreds of people create awe inspiring lamps – just add your own unique jam jar!
