There are a floor lamp, a wall lamp, and a table/desk lamp. A ceiling lamp just didn't seem to fit in with the overall design, so I left it out to keep from being too kitschy. I hope you like them and can find some use for them in your lots. The set uses the repository system, and all textures are slaved to the FloorLamp. For anyone that doesn't know, this means that the FloorLamp MUST be in your Downloads folder (whether you use it or not) in order for the TableLamp and WallLamp to have colored textures show in game. Please enjoy.
The zip file contains all three objects plus a collections folder package. The collections package does NOT go in the Downloads folder, but in the Collections folder.

I"m not claiming this as a real recolor, but I left in this experimental texture because I kinda like it (and I'm too lazy to take it out).


Basically, it's just a wooden arm texture and a silver shade with holes in it. Due to the skinny-ness of the arms, I never could get the wood grain to show satisfactorily, but it does make a half-decent approximation of a copper texture. The shade worked out a little better, but I couldn't stretch the mesh UV enough to over come the stretching look of the texture without compromising the repository nature of the collection.

About Me
I don't mind if you include any of these meshes with your lots**, as long as you provide a link to the original MTS page for the mesh. Posting my mesh on any site by itself, or claiming it as your own work, would be considered rude and a breach of my trust and love for you as a fellow simmer.
**Above policy does not apply to Remote Control Thing - it contains an NPC that could possibly corrupt a neighborhood when removed, and I doubt that downloaders would appreciate something like that hidden in a downloaded lot.
