I purchased a 4 ft piece of the electrical threaded tubing then cut it to 7 inches long, bought the rubber stopper, that was close to size drilled the center to proper size AND it did have to be shaved down a little to fit proper " to fat", then nuts & washers on either end of the stopper so when you tighten one the other holds its place and the stopper gets bigger. from there and electrical lamp end and you got the whole deal. The bulb is a 25 watt and I let it stay on for an hour or so and the lamp did not seam to hot at all. I did frost the outside of the blue gazing ball so the bulb wasnt visable and it gives off nice light but not to much. I could see leaving the bulb near the neck if wanted all you need to do is adjust the stopper, you could have the rod shorter too if wanted but these were my first so I may change it up alittle.
