A Ceramic light bulb base mounted in a big PVC end Cap

Big PVC end cap, 4 inch PVC I think. Drilled the 'center' by setting the end cap dome down into the drill press and usign the bit to find the lowes spot. I had a tap that matched the lamp tube's threads, so I taped the PVC cap.

Dead on view of the PVC end cap and ceramic light bulb base. The PVC e.c. just cvoers the ceramic base, the plasma bulb and its base will stick way out. The socket's stud/tube came with a nifty gribbly nut, here it is in place.
