Craftster member fluffypants from Ontario, Canada has put together this fun and cool looking lamp using a Nintendo zapper and a Duck Hunt cartridge.
A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade.
I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and… ta dah!

that is so cool 🙂
Hey, thanks for the feature! I’m amazed at how much attention this is getting. 🙂
Forgot to mention, thanks for the positive spin- this is getting it’s fair share of negative feedback as well!
You’re welcome Fluffypants, such a cool lamp is sure worth all the attention. Sorry to hear about the negative feedback.
Thanks for stopping by folks!
AWESOME STUFF!!! :3
I ALWAYS loved that game …yeah… the idea is awesome xD
This Optimus Prime USB hub looks awesome! I love that it’s a 9-inch tall replica of his head and includes his famous catchphrase. What a fun and useful gadget for any Transformers fan.
