So fabulous. This is why I've always wanted to live in a real loft.

hmm... I never thought I'd like this sort of thing, but it's done way cool! This would go in my inspiration box for doing up a loft for my car/bike crazy brother!

These lights look great. If you organize things so they don't look just like what they are, they can "overcome" a make-do, quirky kind of look, and totally look more appropriate than anything else you could think of. It's really a matter of exercising the design skill and not just the odd material that makes this.

Looks cool yes, but isn't everybody telling me I'm supposed to switch to CFL's to save the environment? I count 27 headlights, at roughly 35 watts each...

I like it. But wouldn't it cast shadows on the art as you stand looking at it? Just wondering
