Attic Lighting

Description

It's very dark in !mURx's attic at night (of course, he doesn't live beyond the arctic circle), and that sucks because you usually need the important things exactly when it's dark! Thus a light had to be installed but a standard lamp wouldn't be adequate. A modder prefers to use some unusual objects:
€ a E27 ceramics socket
€ a 75W lightbulb
€ a switch from a power bar
€ an orange plastic box for small parts
€ >two pieces of Stockis
€ various screws, wires and other stuff

Note: The cable is actually a supply cable for industrial devices, it is quite flexible but makes the wiring difficult.
