Ink Cartridges turned into lamps
Ink cartridges get tossed in the trash plenty, so one Etsy seller decided to reuse those and turn them into a new form of technology. These small lamps might not be bright enough to read by, but if you are going to spend the money for novelty lights, you might as well pick up ones that are recycled. That way it’s a little more eco-friendly. You won’t have to worry about safety concerns either, since the Etsy seller put all of the lamps through extensive testing to make sure that they are completely safe.
The lamps come in several different color choices, such as yellow, light magneta, matte black, light cyan and cyan. You can also get an ink cartridge chandelier that has all of the different colors within it. The chandelier will of course put off quite a bit more light than the individual cartridges would. You can also purchase the LED bulb that works with the cartridges, directly from the seller. The lamps do all come with a 6 watt bulb though. The cartridges will all cost you $35 a piece and the chandelier will cost you $200.

This is a great alternative for used cartridges if you aren’t going to recycling them or have them refilled!

The creativity and inspiration of some people amazes me. I have often commented that nothing in this current world of ours would surprise me, but I forgot the world of inspiration and pure creations.

Coolest I know you are green and conservationist but really this looks a bit tacky. Can we at least have it painted?

Interesting. We are always open to new ideas when it comes to recycling ink cartridges. Not sure how much demand there wil be for this sort of product, but it all helps. Also, could you please provide a working link to the ink cartrdige chandelier page. The current link doesn’t work and I am keen to see a picture – and maybe even buy!

Now that’s creative thinking! Not so good for the environment as refilling your cartridges, but impressive nevertheless.
