I would not call them prototypical but they certainly are plausible.......

#14 solid wire from Romex.Push it all straight through shrink tube first then bend to your liking. (Shrink tube- #14 solid wire- rice grain lite bulb and shroud from LHS). Cost is about 3 bucks. Great for Industrial Factories Steel mills, Cat walks, Etc. Nick

Hello I have no idea when I get to my LHS I will ask and get back to you.

These will work I would only apply about 10 volts.

There was a thread about 5 or so years ago about making the shrouds from copper tubing using a flaring tool.

Actually you can make the whole goose neck lamp from copper tubing using bending springs to prevent kinking the tubing.

.

Nick I didn't mean to hijacked your thread; your idea is brilliant. I was just adding to a great idea.
