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.

  • 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
