Ben Light made these simple and elegant “Clamp Lamps” for his workshop. The wooden bases attach easily to the end of a bench or table with a simple C clamp, and have gooseneck attachments upon the ends of which one can attach all manner of objects, such as a lamp or magnifying glass. These could be great accessories for your Helping Hands or Panavise, but also have a nice clean look on their own.
I really dig Luminch One, an excellent Make: Project by Francisco Castro:
Luminch One is an interactive lamp controlled by the movements of your hand. Wave your hand over it to turn it on or off, or move your hand up or down above it to change its brightness. Inside the lamp, an Arduino hooked to an infrared distance sensor tracks your hand and sets the state and the brightness of the LED lamp.
This cool camera desk lamp by Kirsty would make a perfect piece of decor for a photobug’s home or office. And because the legs of the tripod are adjustable, you can place it on your desk or use it as a floor lamp. Kirsty calls this her first draft of the lamp, but she’s “super chuffed” with how it turned out. We’re looking forward to seeing future iterations, Kirsty!
This upcycled pendant light is a really lovely way to use those vintage doilies you have passed down from your grandmother.
Have you ever tried a DIY project only to have it turn out completely different….in a good way? That seems to be what happened to The 3 R’s when they attempted a Design*Sponge tutorial and ended up with this dynamic paper starburst pendant lamp.
Jasmine Orchard found a “pre-loved” toy fire truck, repainted it, and wired it up with a lightbulb to upcycle it into really cool table lamp. Perhaps if you’re nostalgic for the days in which you played with toys like these, this is great inspiration for incorporating your favorite plaything into your current decor. [via Recyclart] […]
This light fixture from Los Angeles design studio Voila! reached out and grabbed me, so to speak. Called a Handelier, it’s modern and funny and functional all at once. Even better, it’s made from vintage aluminum glove molds. Visit this feature on Design Milk to see matching handy standing lamps and wall sconces.
