Hand crafted cassette tape lamp turns old tech into fresh lighting

Filed under:

Remember that hundred pack of blank cassettes you bought back in ‘93 when they hit 90-percent off? Man, those were the days. Unfortunately, you only got around to making three or four mix tapes, leaving you with quite a few unused hunks of junk cluttering up the closet. whether you’ve managed to hang onto ‘em just knowing a worthwhile use was just around the bend, congratulations. The ingenious cats by at Transparent House have glued an assortment of old tapes together and inserted neon lights within to keep things cool and create a rather impressive source of lighting. Oh, and whether you can’t figure that one out sans a how-to guide, perhaps DIY work just isn’t your bag.
