'Do it yourself' Creacycle Lamp ROOKIE PACK

Manufacturer: Bulbs Unlimited

Design: J. Kreienbringck for Bulbs Unlimited

All over the world millions of burnt through light bulbs are carelessly thrown away every day or dumped. We believe it's a great pity. Just imagine that these bulbs would be perfectly suitable as feedstock for creacycling: Change them into highly innovative, unique lighting objects. According to scientific estimations, only around 7.5% of all used light bulbs actually undergo a state-of-the-art recycling process. The complexity of this recycling process does not help its popularity: Glass and metal components have to be mechanically separated in an expensive and time consuming process. Therefore old bulbs generally end up in our household waste. A used bulb is far too precious to be littered though as it is well worth it to creacycle them using the Bulbs Unlimited construction set with the result of a stylish light object with a cult factor. We support this idea to give retired bulbs a great start into a second life as an awesome lighting objects rather than to be burnt together with ordinary rubbish in high temperature incinerators. Be a light bulb savior and a creative lamp designer in one person and creacycle your bulbs into spectacular light objects. Should your stock of burnt through bulbs run low you may also use brandnew ones from your local DIY-store!

Bulbs Unlimited is a unique system which enables you to transform European standard light bulbs into a large variety of unique, spectacular light objects. Via simple snap buttons (press buttons) light bulbs are linked together, like Lego® bricks. A custom-built positioning device, 'the Incubator' helps to attach the snap buttons precisely on defined positions of the bulb surface using a unique adhesive. The possibility to position the snap buttons on various positions of the bulb surface offers the possibility to create an unlimited number of unique light objects.

The 'Rookie Pack' contains all required components for the creation of one light object. Bulbs are not included in the set.
