Pipe Lights


Pipe light in a room: PVC WYE and elbow fittings with purple accent lighting; hand adjusting the rotating elbow

I love having objects that symbolize different chapters of my life. For me, work isn’t something to avoid; it’s an opportunity to express who I am.

When our office was preparing to move, we planned to dispose of several sample items. I asked my manager if I could keep two 8-inch fittings, and he agreed.

So, I designed this light: an art piece that I can display in my apartment. The elbow is connected to the WYE with a lazy Susan. The direction of the light can be adjusted with a single finger.

Exploded 3D view: diffusers, lamp and reflector in elbow, lazy Susan bearing between elbow and WYE base, side outlet lighting stack
Exploded assembly — diffusers, fittings, lazy Susan, and dual light paths.
