Bringing old bulbs to new life

This is an easy and fast to do "How to".

Sometimes you see some nice looking, old fashioned bulbs but unfortunately they are burned out.
Don´t throw them away! Follow these "How to" to recycle them and use them for other nice LED or Steam-punk projects.

Mr Junophor gave me some nice but burned out bulbs. But what to do with them. Then I saw a nice project with a Light Box and I started to recycle these bulbs.

Step 1 What you need

• Some nice bulbs
• Some ultra bright LED´s (colour, what you like)
• Some resistors (depending on the LED´s and the voltage you are using
• A Dremel
• Hard glue (like UHU hart)
• A mask to protect your lungs from the dust
• Protective glasses to protect your eyes
