Thank you everybody.

So I said two lights and here is number two.
It is a basket light with a c7 Christmas type bulb.
This one also has Tapa inside and out.

This light also comes with an adjustable chain and a pully on the end it too can be adjusted to the needs of your bar.

Since this thread is called "TIKISKIP : How to make tiki light, Lamp 101"
I could have put it into my lights thread, "Tikiskip's / Kahiki lamp,Tiki bar lights, fishing float light"

Where I put all my lights I have made and done repairs on.

BUT here's the lesson part, on these lights after fixing many over the years I have found that they can be very fragile as they are really made of paper and thin rattan or bamboo.

SOOO to fix this fragility a bit I add white glue, shellac, and even clear spray coatings.
This not only helps give these lights an old look but it also gives them strength.
You also get a lot more of a water resistant light.

Resistant, not water proof.
But even in damp places like a basement or outdoor building you get moisture in the air, this helps against that.

So here it is....

Tiki bar basket light.
