E14 Batten Mount Base for Crinkle Lamp

thingiverse

I had an E14 batten mount and a color-changing candle bulb just collecting dust. So I whipped up this base to fit them to the stunning crinkle lamp designed by LoboCNC (Thing 676350). Actually, I used Blomsgaard's crinkle shade remix (Thing 2801470). I'm not sure if it's any different from LoboCNC's, but I wanted to mention it just in case he changed the dimensions. The whole thing is very lightweight, so it needs something to stop the weight of the flex drawing it across the table top. Luckily, I had some self-adhesive rubber pads in my scrap bin that did the trick for me. I've also added an optional inner diffuser. It's not necessary, but I felt the bulb's shape was too visible on my lamp, and I wanted to break it up a little more for a softer look. As you can see from the pictures, I have it proudly displayed on the CD rack; the one that's full of CDs I probably haven't touched in 8 or 9 years!
