I’m continuing my fascination with charging stations this week with this Steampunk Robot lamp. The lamp comes standard with “two grounded, tamper-resistant AC outlets, two high-power USB charging ports, a full-range sliding dimmer with blue LED indicator gauge for the lamp, and a smartphone charging cradle that can accommodate even the largest smartphone with a case”. The second arm is normally just a pipe fitting, but you can have it replaced with either a second phone charging cradle or an Apple Watch charging base (as seen in this image).
The robot stands 12″ tall, and at 5.5 pounds, you won’t need to worry it will tip over with all your expensive devices on it. It comes with a white incandescent G25 globe bulb, but you can request an LED bulb at no extra charge, if desired. The lamp in the standard configuration (one phone cradle only) is $199.00. You can add a second phone cradle for an additional $25.00 or an Apple Watch charging base for $60.00 extra.
The Steampunk Industrial Robot Lamp is available from the SteveGallagherLamps shop at Etsy.

This looks pretty cool. Makes me want to make something similar on my own.
This has got to be done way cheaper on your own, all it takes is the ability to screw pipes together and basic wiring skills. Probably spend around $50 on materials.
Same thoughts: I can make one of those (well something similar and maybe not quite as professional looking). I am inspired!
Now I just need to scrounge for some miscellaneous pipe fittings. Don’t most plumbers use PVC these days though?
Galvanized is so retro, though!
