Problem Light!

Posted by mike d. 7 comments

This fourth of July holiday Jesse and I spent some time making a sweet Problem Light for my office cubical.

I used this basic design to create my own, the only major differencing being a small brass valve that can be used to turn the light on and off.

This art style is called ‘steampunk’ and there’s all sorts of interesting stuff on it over at wikipedia.

now… to the light!

No problem

There's a Problem!

And a video!

I’m pretty excited. It came out great and will be a sweet conversation piece in the cubical.

I’m one step ahead of you my good man!

The lightbulb is run in parallel with a spotlight on the roof.
