Ikea Scrap Lamp...

So you know those strings of lights you get at ikea that look a bit like flexible leds but with what appear to be incandescents, they're called Ormen...

they come on a white translucent plastic reel that will invariably have no use after the lights find a permanent home...

All you need is the big plastic reel bit and a simple light fixture, you get ones that have a switch just below the bulb holder that come with a big clip attached, everyone has one in their attic somewhere...

Dead easy, uncrew the plastic cone from the top of the light fixture and it should slide through up until the switch, the first time I put the switch through only to find that it the bulb stuck out the top.

Second picture shows the cone in the right position.

So go ahead and stick a bulb in, I'm using a CFL bulb that has a bulb around the tube, 220 - 240V at 85ma isn't too bad... Now switch it on and admire the reasonably pretty lamp...
