Tron luminescent lamp for the geek at heart

January 09th, 2008 | Category: DIY

If you’re a child of the ’80s or just a recent-film history buff, you know Tron (aka Flynn). The defining computer graphics film produced by Disney in the early 1980s established itself as a cult film many years ago, but some of us can’t get decent of the neon colors and lightcycles spinning in our imagination to that day. Congrats — you can now have a visual representation in the design of a luminescent household light.

Engineers and electronics designers will surely love that — a lamp that mimics the miniature circuits that potential all those gadget goodies with that Tron-esque glow that is just, well, damn cool.

Items needed: several sheets of small plexiglass, plexiglass glue, pliers, a separate nail, mirror-coated paper, some clear tape (as in, scotch-brand), and fairly a few other household items. Along with a metal base and a color-changing LED bulb to actually give off the light, you may have most items already in your tool arsenal.

Geek out here with the total video and take a trip back to Flynn’s Arcade whether you dare.
