I have been slowly working on a better long wall lamp (see earlier post) and am proud to present version 2. I've been living with it for about a month and it's much better than the earlier option: less clunky, more elegant, doesn't need a cable, and lastly, it's better made (1" birch ply with a Danish oil finish with nicer joinery using a peg for a nice visual and super strength) with a much smaller metal wall hinge, using nice hardware. The only issue may be shipping it, if anyone wanted to buy it that is.
