In my last picture of a lamp in its entirety, the bulb was sagging down a little. I didn't actually mind it doing that and i predicted it may well do that, but i feared over time it would worsen, and it may be quite difficult to keep the bulb from falling too much in the future. Josh also pointed out concerns of the bulb being close to the metal frame work and that it may get hot very quickly. I put it on in my room and left it on for about 4-5 hours and then checked how the pipe felt. The bulbs are warm but you can still touch the actual bulb itself with no danger of hurting your self and the pipe was completely fine. STILL, I thought this would be a concern to the public as well and as I'm selling something that is electrical, I feel i should do my best to make it look as professional as possible, to reassure people of its reliability, quality and safety.
Soooooo, I found the strongest super glue I could find. It has a picture of a car on it?? So I guess its good for putting a car together. I placed a small amount around the edge of the lamp holder and held it in place for 20 minutes whilst it set. During this time I was anticipating how wonderful it was going to be to have to do this for the next 12 lamps I needed to make... Perhaps I could solve world hunger and then tell no one.
The finished product I think looks far more professional and soundly made. I hope you do too :)
