Haha! What a retard that castor is. “It’s dangerous to have lightbulbs around your house!” Dude, are you currently living in the dark or something?

I wonder how that works with mercury being used in fluorescent tubes and all. Not sure I’d want to keep them around my house that much. Plus as evets mentioned… accident waiting to happen if someting bumped into it. Not very practical.

That’s a genius idea. We should find the way to recycle the thing we don’t want to make it more useful.
Sometimes i will use the unwanted thing to make something like pencil box, container, flower vase and many more. My grand mum is a great maker.

how about if the client sends the old bulbs to the designer in order to be recreated into this marvel?

It would be much more clever if they put a small Tesla coil in the center and actually illuminated the tubes.
(A Tesla coil will illuminate burnt out fluorescent tubes through high frequency excitation and doesn’t use the burnt electrodes)

Great way to use old tubes. But we’ll need to gather these many old tubes :-)
