“It is a very comprehensive kit that will be very helpful in building your lamp or converting it. I received 2 european style lamps that needed to be converted and these kits came in very handy. I looked at multiple kits online and this was the right color and it had everything that I was looking for. In fact the kits have additional parts that are not shown in the photo that is also helpful.( i.e. multiple nuts and washers, nipple (guides your wire through the base of the lamp which is also treaded for your supporting nuts/hardware.) The only thing that you need, that the kit does not provide, is a harp and lamp shade.” - J. Leeon, Amazon Customer, May 26, 2016 ★

It is not recommended to use a light bulb with a wattage over 60 watts due to the heat generated by the bulb.
