A pendant light created using candle holders and a timber offcut.
The project
When I dreamt about this pendant light, I knew making it was definitely something I needed to do.
I found an offcut of timber that was cut into a circle and then sanded and stained it in Feast Watson Black Japan Stain. Then I found three unused candle holders that I have had for over seven years, gave them a touch up of spray paint and set them aside.
Next, I purchased the Lytworx Remote Control Puck Lights, hooks, chains, and 3M tape from Bunnings and home I went.
I measured equally the corners of a triangle from the centre of the circle and added a hook into each. Then I cut the chain down to three different sizes using a grinder.
I secured the chain to the candle holder with 4mm Wire Eye Straps.
Then with some 3M tape I secured the timber to the roof, attached the chains and lowered the candle holders down.
I turned the puck lights on and secured the remote to the wall and there you have it - a light pendant for around $20. The beauty of the puck light is definitely that they have the two functions, from bright to moody, and the shadow play that is thrown is the best.
