Community Cobble Showcase #2: Lamps, Lighting Features, and Chandeliers!

Chryseia

Hey ESO Housing Community! As promised, it's now time for Community Cobble Showcase #2:

The theme of this showcase is "lighting." Any type of lighting will do, whether its a table lamp, pendant light, lantern, chandelier, sconce, candelabra, or an un-nameable feature (a major purpose of which is to provide light)... you get the picture! I'll be hitting other themes in future showcase threads, but if you have any suggestions that you would like to see sooner rather than later, please feel free to PM me.

I also want to thank everyone who shared their cobbles in the first community cobble thread. I can't state enough how inspiring it was to see this community's ridiculously fantabulous creativity in the form of cobbled fireplaces. The support this community provided for everyone's ideas and visions was truly uplifting. As I said in the first showcase post, ESO's housing community is amazing, creative, and so incredibly supportive of each other, and I hope that these threads will serve as a centralized, easily searchable method of showcasing and iterating on various cobbled designs.

So please post pictures of your amazing, humble, or just plain crazy cobbled lighting sources! I can't wait to see what you have created




Original Post, House-Keeping Stuffs:
(1) If you want to post a picture of someone else's cobbled design, please credit the builder in your post.
(2) No cobble is too "simple" or too "obvious" to be included. Sometimes the most brilliant, unique, and creative ideas come in the simplest package!
(3) Please continue to be the kind, creative, and supportive community you already are!

Step-by-step instructions regarding an easy way to post pictures (note there are tons of other methods if you prefer another way of doing it)

(1) Take a screenshot in game.
(2) Make a copy of the screenshot. If you used your computers basic "print screen" function to take the screenshot, you have already copied the screenshot and can proceed to step 3. If you used an in-game command to take the screenshot, use your file explorer to navigate to the following location to open and copy the picture: This PC -> Documents -> Elder Scrolls Online -> Live -> Screenshots.
(3) Post the screenshot into any Discord Channel by using the command "control+v" in the channel's message box. I typically use a personal Discord channel, which is free to create, but if you would prefer a housing-friendly discord to post into, feel free to send me a PM and I will shoot you an invite to my housing guild's discord channel (its open to anyone).
(4) In Discord, click on the picture you just posted; an expanded view of the image will open.
(5) Click "Open Original", which appears underneath and to the left of the expanded image you opened in step 4. This will open the image in your default internet browser.
(6) Select the entire URL of the webpage that opened in step 5. Copy the URL.
(7) In the ESO forum thread, "leave a reply" box, click the drop down arrow to the right of the tool that looks like a mountain and a sun in a portrait frame, labelled "attach image". Click on the "image URL" text box that opens, and paste the URL you copied in step 6.

Gilt, Vintage-Bulb Pendants (Hammerdeath):


Alinor Glass Lantern Chandelier (Grotto):


Fancy White Table Lamp (Mistveil):


Lighted, Star-Shaped Tree Topper (Snugpod):


Art Deco Stained Glass Chandelier (Mistveil):


Interactable "Jack Skellington" Jack O'lantern (Autumn's Gate):

(non-lit version in spoiler)

Poms

Mine isn't as elaborate as yours...i especially love your "Gilt, Vintage-Bulb Pendants", might actually steal it if that's okay

For my only real cobbled lighting...well I had all these wedding lanterns but never found a use for them, until I figured out how to make them into good looking table lamps

Tigerseye

Ah, your amazing lights.

Oh, for more furnishings slots...

Please can I ask how you did the star tree topper, by the way?

Delphinia

@Chryseia and @Poms just stunning!
In awe of your ingenuity and creativity!

here is one of mine I thought made a decent floor lamp..not nearly as clever or lovely, but works in a casual parlor or in my case, sewing room.

Chryseia

@Poms I never mind it when others borrow or iterate on my ideas! Feel free to recreate anything you would like Also, lovely lamp!

@Tigerseye lol I feel you. the crystal chandelier took fourty items *dies*. The tree topper was made with 10 Blessing Stones with 1 Hlaalu Salt Lamp set to blue to create the base.

@Delphinia The proportions on that floor lamp are spot on! Great job! It is absolutely perfect for your sewing room

Excellent work everyone We figured it would be great to put some light on the subject, so we've gone ahead and pinned this thread.

Chryseia

*giggle* puns...

Not sure how "cobble-y" this is, but I just did this weird... flickering color-shifting light effect thingie on twelve of the hlaalu salt lamps embedded in my christmas tree. Its an animation (but not really, because no scenes were involved), so here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDtpTXnlzlc&feature=youtu.be

I guess the tree overall could be considered a lighting feature? The "animation" is just 36 compounded triggers that loop into each other to change the state of each of the 12 lamps to on, on2, or on3 without turning off or going in a wrong order.

Here are some amazing chandeliers created by @skulllord1415, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post these on their behalf:

Skulllord's cobbles are always so creative! Thank you for taking these pictures while the builds were still up Stabbity!

Here is an incredibly detailed lighting feature created by @R_K/ @Cardinal05/ @ZOS_Cardinal during one of @JHartEllis's furnishing frenzy events:

Thank you Stabbity and Jheart for providing the picture!

A simple idea that no doubt you all have used but just in case somebody hasn't seen it before.
Placing a sconce into the hand of the mage statue is a great way to light a courtyard.

WOW! no I haven't!

updated with better photo!

Chryseia

@swankery Oh my god, those cobbles are crazy good! I am completely obsessed with the modern pendant/chandy, and the bulb lamp posts are just adorable! A lot of great ideas!

@Zypheran I agree with Stabbity. No, I hadn't thought of it before, and I am so glad you shared because its freaking brilliant!

@mergadeth that lamp is so cute! It really makes that space feel like a real, modern living area. (And I know this thread isn't about clocks... but WOW that clock...)

Here is an intriguing lighting feature that is ingenious in its simplicity, created by @Vulsahdaal, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf:

I really love how this cobble demonstrates that we don't always have to "break the bank" regarding how many slots we use for a cobble in order to create an interesting and unique feature! Excellent idea Vulsahdaal!

@Chryseia thank you! That means a lot coming from you. I’m a huge fan of your work. Like really. 🥰

Off topic, but can I ask what you use for the marble kitchen surfaces?

They look great.

This is such a fun idea Chryseia. So glad it's in sticky status!

Many thanks to @Stabbitydoom for taking, and passing along, a picture of my lighting feature at Trident Springs. I had taken it down a while ago, thinking it was too over-the-top. So thanks to Stabby I can now share it here.

It is, and was, gorgeous

You have no problem commending threads like these, but when it comes to a forum user asking questions directed to the moderators to be passed along to the developer you all are no where to be found.... This is why forum users complain about the lack of communication.

Actually, they have been MUCH better about communicating - and have responded to many direct questions lately. I am as far as you can get from a white knight, believe me, I'm critical almost non-stop... but here, there has been massive improvement and especially from certain mods. plus you have to figure you don't need permission from devs/higher ups to give compliments, but to answer questions you would need approval, they probably have strict guidelines.

Hardly that.

And answering a few selected questions on a twitch or youtube live stream doesnt count as effective communication.

@Tigerseye Those are alinor retaining walls and argonian tiles. And thank you!

Chryseia

@ixie I love how perfectly your coral lamps go with the build you created in that picture!

@Sharalei, I 100% agree with Stabbity, "It is, and was, gorgeous." Many thanks Shar for creating that lovely crystal ball chandelier, and also thank you Stabbity for taking a shot of it while it was still up!

@Shirayuki_Sama I love love love the tiny little lamp pull detail to turn the light on and off with the clockwork crank! You have such a great eye for small things like that, which really serves to make your builds feel real and complete!

And now, here are some more light cobbles created by the amazing builders in our community!

This completely adorable and perfectly proportioned table lamp was created by @Whrr, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf. I think it works perfectly on that table, and I never would have thought to use a pie dish as a lampshade!


(picture provided by @StabbityDoom)

This rustic chic wheel chandelier was created by @Jenaceae, who plays primarily on PC NA and requested that I post this on their behalf. It's such a great idea to use a wheel as the base of a chandelier, and I really feel like this light feature would be right at home in many, many Tamriel designs!


(picture provided by StabbityDoom)

Last, but not least, this terrifyingly impressive chandelier was installed by @DevilDogette, who had been commissioned by @audrebytes, who "HIGHLY RECOMMENDS their services." I love how every aspect of this chandelier enhances the "daedric-ness" of the primary light source. It really makes an impact in that room!

Thank you for sharing your builds with the community everyone!

As a final note, I would gently request (on a personal level and as the OP) that everyone please stay on topic. I know there are some frustrations about aspects of housing, and I fully support the right to discuss and voice those frustrations on the forums. However, the intention of these threads is to showcase the creations of builders that have created amazing things, that wouldn't necessarily be seen by the community otherwise. I really believe that every builder's creations deserve a chance to shine and inspire in this thread, without attention being pulled to other topics. Pretty please (with cherries and whipped cream on top)?

Well, I don't think I've ever cobbled a proper lamp, but this may fall under the category.
