DIY Lighting: Fantastic Labware LED Lamps

labware-4[1]

Ah… the warm ambient lighting of retro chemistry lab equipment…Designer Benjamin Huber created these exceptional custom lights out of hand-blown glass.  While I’m sure they cost an arm and leg, you could easily just pick up some flasks and beakers for dirt cheap on eBay.  Then, grab some glass frosting spray paint, shove some white LEDs inside, and you’ve got your own custom lighting creations.

I hope the ones hanging from the ceiling have the cork securely attached! Some glue would help, but given my personal inability to get glue to stick to anything I would never trust it up there. It definitely looks cool though and I do have some old beakers laying around…
