Here is a cool use for old ink cartridges, which usually just end up in landfill, the Recycled Ink Cartridge Lamps.

Each of the lamps come with a 6 watt bulb, except for the chandelier which can be used with a regular bulb, and they have been tested to make sure that they are safe to use as lamps.

If you want one they come in two styles, one with a single ink cartridge, which comes in lots of funky colors, and one as a chandelier which uses a total of 8 cartridges.

I think this is a really clever idea, and a great way to recycle unwanted ink cartridges, prices start at $35 for the single version, and the chandelier retails for £200.

If you want one of these funk recycled ink cartridge lamps they are available from Etsy.
