Steampunk Plasmabeam outdoor Lamp

This film gives you an small impression:

Step 1: Changeable bulbs

If you want you can change the bulb to have a good light fo reading.

Cool, Looks reminiscent of the transistor radios of the late 50's. Nice 'Ible!

[longwinters]

Great looking project, where did you find the bulb?

Hi longwinters

The big bulb shown in the movie can be ordered in germany for about 5 Euros. The CFL is an modified one by my own using an cfl tube and the well known disposal camera electronic. The cover around is made of plastic from the former cfl bulb and fits perfectly in the brass made socket of an big bulb called "centra-Beaming bulb" which you also can be ordere at OSRAM, Germany or in elektric light shops or so. I get the old and broken ones put the glass parts away and use the sockets for my new ideas.
Yours Aeon Junophor

Great job Junophor!

I think you really found a niche - and should market some of your stuff to the high end designers and such... as funtional artwork... be sure to put a high dollar price tag on them and limit the editions by numbering and signing them.

They'll think they are even more chiche adn worth that much more as designer functional artwork... bet they's sell like hot cakes at a sunday morning brunch!
