I like the look of Cu lights and I have owned one, but I am just not careful enough with them to keep them looking the way I want. I know I know patina and all that but after a year my copper light was just kinda meh and dirty looking.
@zzap129 gave me this tip:
"but you can always “reset” and get it back to shiny if you want. (I usually just take a little ketchup and a cloth and wipe it and it will look almost like new)"
Huh I guess that makes sense... Little acid to remove the oxidation.
From what I read, you can let the ketchup sit a bit longer on the copper, to remove more of the oxidation. I hope it works great for you, @Ongar
