Just wanted to share my recent lighting build, the bulbs are E27 15w 6500k COB LEDs from ebay and the pendants were easily made with just a few bits from the hardware store

I love the vintage look it has.. Realy nice simple and practical design.. 
I would polish it and coat it with a clear varnish or epoxy.. Finnishing touch would be this.

To fit them you could use these M10x1 thread buss connectors they are 12mm outside diameter. If the pipe is 15mm you need a brass 12x15mm addapter ring to make it fit snugly and screw in and out..
Then solder it in and use this to finish the solder with copper patina.
