Tron luminescent lamp for the geek at heart

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 enough of the neon colors and lightcycles spinning in our imagination to this day. Congrats -- you can now have a visual representation in the form of a luminescent household light.

Engineers and electronics designers will surely love this -- a lamp that mimics the miniature circuits that power 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 single nail, mirror-coated paper, some clear tape (as in, scotch-brand), and quite 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 complete video and take a trip back to Flynn's Arcade if you dare.
