Vintage Camera Nightlights

Flickr user Jason Hull has been converting plastic film cameras from the 50's & 60's into wonderful nightlights. Based in Oakland, California, Jason scours flea markets and thrift shops for these retro film cameras. From there, he removes the plastic guts and the shutters in order to create nightlights that are more lightweight so that they don't do any damage to the sockets. Don't worry though, Jason doesn't modify cameras if they are in prisitine condition or if they're rare.

  6. Absolutely brilliant. Has there been a thought of putting a wireless camera inside so it could double as a security camera? Maybe even integrate a motion sensor to turn on the light when movement is detected. Great work!
