Here’s a visually appealing DIY cassette tape lamp if you want to recycle your old outdated cassette into something useful and doesn’t take up extra space in your home.

The designers make each lamp from dozens of individual cassette tapes, arranged into visually appealing patterns. Not only do they look cool as a sculptural piece, they cast dramatic shadows onto surrounding surfaces.

It’s one thing to have an emergency kit that requires batteries and it’s another whole level if you got one that can be cranked for power.  The Crane Calamity Kit comes with a crank radio, crank flashlight, and crank indigo lantern so you can feel safe in emergencies.  We agree that every emergency kit should at least come with an option to crank power nowdays.

After many “dinner in the dark” experiences, C. Crane has the perfect solution for a power failure or other natural disaster that leaves you in the dark – the Calamity Kit! The three-piece kit includes our Indigo Lantern, Sherpa Flashlight, and EyeMax Weather Radio, and this kit is well suited for making dinner for the family and staying informed of any new weather events or other news in your area.

Wow, check out this awesome solar powered glowing flower pot that conserves the sun’s energy during the day and glow the pot itself at night.  This might be useful at replacing those outdoor lights with a double-whammy pot/light.

The length of time the pot glows is dependent on the amount of sunlight the solar panel is exposed to during the day, but in the UK you’re looking at about 6-8 hours in the summer and 2-4 hours in the winter - more than enough for your average evening garden soiree.

Wow, check out this collection of great lights all made from recycled plastic bottles!

By using a specially perfected process which hardens the recycled plastic bottles, THIS Gallery have made a whole series of lights and lamps, which initially look nothing like a load of old plastic bottles but they are and when you consider that each light fitting uses something in the region of thirty five and fifty five bottles, quite saving for the land fill!
