Improved taller design, added files for dimmer version, changed the light bulb holder to ensure it does not interfere with the dimmer.

WARNING: this design requires wiring and soldering main voltage (110V or 220V lines). If you don't feel competent to work with it seek out the advise or services of a qualified electrician. Mains voltage electricity is extremely dangerous. There is a significant risk of death through electrocution if mains voltage electricity is allowed to pass through the body. There can also be a risk of fire and explosion if electricity is not cabled and fused correctly. Therefore precautions must be taken when using mains electricity or similar.
