The Tower Light


Designed and constructed by Z. Urbina, the Tower Light measures 15 inches across each of its four sides, 9+ feet from the wheels on the floor to the top of the tallest spire.

The actual light enclosure measures 7+ feet. The internal assembly includes more than 50 feet of strategically reinforced 1/2 inch white PVC pipe & two 150 watt-equivalent soft white compact fluorescent bulbs.

The veneer was constructed using roughly 32 square feet of engineering paper for diffusion. I'm still considering gel-ing the top area, below the spires, with green cellophane for artistic affect.

  2. its a double entendre, a play on words. think figure, meaning: a leader and figure, meaning: a number.
