Well, UL covers the componet parts. Does it not? Ul listed componets installed in a lamp/sconce/chandlier  if basic commonsense is applied should take care of it. Doesn't UL apply to the sockets and wireing of a lamp and not to the lamp itself. aka piece of wood and a shade. Might check with the lectrician first. On the laws in your area. hop you aren't in CA :)

For those of you who sometimes build lighting________I assume there are
those of you who have UL approved shops, those of you who take your
fixtures to a UL approved shop for certification, and those of you who
ignore the whole UL thing all together.

I am not a UL shop, I will be building a series of sconces this summer
for a house under new construction. If they are not UL approved can I
expect the electrician to refuse to install them? For those of you who
have a UL shop or have taken a light fixture to a UL shop how much do
you charge / did you pay?

I will be building 16 or so sconces that will all be the same, can I
just get the 'model' or 'style' approved.

Any thoughts and or guidance about the UL process would be appreciated.
For those of you who have been thru the process how did it work.

And one last thing______any recommendations on a business to order light
parts from?

Thank you all,

Roger Olsen
