Night Stand Charging Station Lamp

Step 5 Add a Powerstrip and Light Guts

I had cut a hole in the bottom of the piece and threw in a powerstrip and the guts of a clamp lamp. I used a low wattage CF bulb which stays a bit cooler than an incandescent. It's also plastic and tough so it can take a little bit of a beating. The plastic on top is slightly smaller than the routed edge so I can fit the cords from the inside to the top.

The light on the cords makes for some nice shadows and the cord mess is out of the way.
