Review on Bottle Lamp Kit with 9mm Glass Drill Bit: Transform Wine & Liquor Bottles into Stylish UNO Slip-On Socket Lamps with UL Listed Wiring Parts and 8ft Black Cord by Charles Osguthorpe

Only works with LED and better with a thick neck

I have a double bottle of 2000 champagne which I then made into a lamp. All for until the lamp unit died so I bought these. First, champagne has the largest neck of any wine bottle, and the smallest cork is barely inserted halfway. She sits too high for my liking and the shade I have. And he doesn't feel safe. And you can't go crazy trying to push it in because the electrical component is all plastic. You can't go into town and try to push it in and push it in; the plastic will break. So if you don't want to cut the cork, be careful even if you have a regular sized wine bottle. If your bottle's opening is smaller, it won't work. Second, after trying every new bulb in my collection and none of them worked, I went and grabbed a bulb from another bulb (which turned out to be the only LED in my house) and only then did it work. So if you think you're going to use something other than LEDs, forget it. That should all be explained better.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I won't say anything
