When making my ceramic lamps, I always consider the best way to wire them up safely and efficiently. If I create a sculpture with a closed bottom, I need and electrician to handle the wiring.
While this is an option, I’ve found a simpler solution: Pre-assembled lamp sets.
These sets come with everything needed, including:
a socket for the light globe
an on /off switch
a plug that’s ready to go
This means I can focus on the ceramic design, and the wiring is as easy as inserting the lamp set into the base. Below, I’ve included links to compatible lamps sets for both Australia and the United States, making it easy to find the right one based on where you live.

I’ve also made a short YouTube video showing the lamp set in detail and how I’ve used it in my sculptures.

If you’re thinking of making your own ceramic lamps, this setup saves time and hassle while ensuring a professional finish. Let me know if you have any questions!
