[QUOTE="sailfish, post: 4963742, member: 53248"] I considered it. You could but regular EMT conduit is kinda soft so it's light and easy to bend, so I personally don't think it'd be that great for something like a lamp because it could get damaged too easily. You could use rigid conduit but I find that it's typically only used in really heavy industrial settings so the variety of nipple lengths stocked at regular hardware stores seems to be pretty limited. You would have to use conduit bodies to get the sharp 90s needed which having a ton of those in such a small space as a lamp would look kinda sloppy, which is why I ended up not doing it. At least iron fittings will keep everything looking compact and clean. [ATTACH=full]348166[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
