I wouldn't want one, but I've seen worse and reuse is better than refuse.

I think these things look great in the right picture, but then you see them in the sunlight and they're crap.

Like the concept, but not the lamp.

I find that all things repurposed as lamps fail on some fundamental level, largely because they just look like trash or a discarded thing with a lightbulb shoved inside. What they once were and how clever it is to reuse it as a lamp becomes more important than the form or function.

I think it's a great idea for a tent/camping light, using a flashlight as the light source.
