Materials: Ordning Cutlery Stand, plastic ceiling light, Dremel
Description: Not sure if this exact project has already been done, but this was somewhat based off of the “let there be light” hack from an Italian contributor.
I purchased a cheap plastic ceiling light from Lowes ($1.39). It is one that holds a single bulb and has the plastic collar that secures a difuser/shade/whatever.
Using a Dremel I cut a small portion of the bottom of the Ordning ($3.99)so that it can slide up socket. Once the light is installed in the ceiling the collar will hold the modified Orning to the light.
Pretty cheap/easy and it beat staring at a bare bulb.
