Make Mag had an article about a Make-er that created an LED lamp from a used “CFL ballast case.” There are several reasons why I(‘m probably not going to recommend that you try this project – it’s not well protected from zapping yourself on mains voltage, you could contaminate your space with Mercury, you could slice yourself with a knife whi.e you’re cutting the top off of the old CFL, and breadboardds aren’t supposed to be used like that.
All that being said, this is an interesting project. Check out the creator’s website.
Hi, I’m the creator of the CFLED and just wanted to say thanks for the interest in my project! I’m now selling kits which make it easy to build your own CFLED lights. They’re available at http://www.sicada.com/products Have fun!
