[5] How to assemble other lamps
The IQ light™ system offers many other possibilities.
30 elements can also make 2 small lamps (15 + 15 or 12 + 18) or 3 smaller lamps (9 + 9 + 12). The assembly method is the same, but you can start with a rosette (1st row) of 5, 4 or 3 elements, and then continue with more or fewer rings.
Smaller lamps require weaker or smaller light bulbs.

Try to assemble this 12 element model. The diagram shows 3 rows, each of 4 elements.

The last row is a little harder to assemble due to tension in the construction. In this model the flex (cord) with socket and bulb is fed through a 4 hook joint.
A number of models are assembled with the back of some of the elements facing outward. This is shown in the diagrams by a dot in the middle of each element in question.

Take for example a 20 element model. Here the first 2 rows are assembled in the usual way, but 3rd and 4th rows are added with the backs facing outward.

This model cannot be assembled differently, as you will see if you try.
With more elements, larger lamps can be made. The larger you build, the more difficult it becomes, but it also gets more exciting. Theoretically there is no limit to size or number of variations, but a very large lamp can be too heavy to support its own weight.
