iBook Wall Sconce Innards

The lamp chosen is a G8 base 75W halogen bulb chosen for its compact filament. It remains to be seen if the heat from this will cause melting of the surrounding plastic. Incidentally, the lamp base wound up being the most expensive part of this project at $15 shipped.

 

The base is mounted angling away from the lamp to reduce unwanted shadows of the base itself. Also, the little plexi wall hanger can be seen on the center notch. This is sure to break at some point in the future, but it's nothing that 2-part epoxy can't fix.
