Randall's Studio stained glass box lamps are created using the Tiffany (copper foil) technique for greater detail and control of color. The "puddling" solder style adds texture and strength to the lamp joints. The four sides and top provide the opportunity to design individual scenes or a complex landscape encompassing the entire piece.
The use of LED strip lighting to illuminate the lamp adds greater control of light color and intensity. The remote controlled LED can also cycle through pre-programmed effect modes.
