This is a lamp we created to look like something you might see in a Victorian era laboratory. We basically built a wood box and mounted two ceiling light fixtures to the base of the box. The wiring on it is fairly simple but if you can't figure it out talk to someone at Home Depot or some other hardware store. Since it's a simple circuit they should be able to get you the information you need. I also drilled a small hole and attached a little red light to the front to show when the device is on (as if it wasn't obvious from the blaring lights.) The lights I used were the long display case lights which you can get at most hardware stores. for a final touch I glued on some metal knobs to the front of the lamp and metal sheeting with holes punched out on the top. Overall this is a fairly simple project which almost anyone can figure out. A warning to anyone working with major electronics, make sure the lamp is not plugged in while you're working on it.
