Every Wired Up piece carries a brass plate on the underside of its base — the bulb-and-revolvers mark, the year the shop opened, and the place it was built. Boise, Idaho. The same plate goes on a standard build and on a gallery one-off.
Below the mark is a number, struck by hand, one lamp at a time.
The number
Numbering runs as a single sequence, starting at No. 001 and climbing. It isn't an edition size and it isn't a cap — it's a record of order.
A piece is numbered by the date it was built, not the date it was ordered, and the sequence runs from the first plate forward.
No. 000 is reserved for the shop's own lamps — kept on the bench and never for sale. These lamps have been in the shop since the beginning.
Limited runs are marked differently. Where a piece belongs to a finite set — a batch built on discontinued stock, an engraved series, a collaboration, a gallery piece or a commissioned custom build — the plate carries its own custom, documented numbering.
Before the plate
Roughly 200 lamps were built between 2012 and 2026 without one. They aren't numbered and won't be. There's no honest way to assign an order to work that was finished years ago and is now scattered across the globe. They're part of the count, not the sequence. The only exceptions are the ones that never left the shop, marked No. 000.
The register
Every number is recorded against the piece it belongs to.
Every plate is struck by hand, so no two are identical. That part is intentional.
