I'd like this to have CFL bulbs but other than that, this is pretty cool.
Incandescent, eh?
Well, Try cutting the bottom of one of these cups, it is not easy.
I had to ease off 1/8" off of a porcelian sink, and oh my god even with diamond pads and a constant stream of water it took quite a while. I learned after that to never make concrete countertops for an ikea vanity.
Great bit of recycling - hat tip to Trish and Maureen.
