Make Small Tube Lights

Old lightbulbs can become stylish, free-standing lights. The term "tube light" refers to the cylindrical shape of an old-fashioned lightbulb, also known as an Edison bulb. Any oblong, thin lightbulb can become a functioning lightbulb again with a little ingenuity, so don't toss those antique bulbs you find at garage sales or in your grandparents' attic. Recycle them into a free-standing light for your desk or put a few modified lightbulbs together to create lighted centerpiece displays or Halloween decorations. Steampunks and sci-fi fans especially love these colorful, homemade pieces.

Instructions
1 Put on surgical gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from bits of glass and glue.
2 Turn your China LED tube lights upside-down. Locate the purple glass terminal encased in the brass fitting on the bottom of the bulb. Grip the glass with pliers and squeeze until you hear the glass crack. Slowly pull the pieces of glass out with the pliers.
3 Turn the bulb right-side up so the filaments inside the LED bulb lights manufacturer fall out. Discard the filaments and the broken glass.
4 Fill the bulb about 7/8 full of rubbing alcohol. Drip a few drops of food coloring (if desired) into the alcohol -- for a steampunk look, add golden-orange colors; for a science-fiction effect, try green.
5 Place the full bulb upside-down into a cup.
6 Turn on a battery-powered LED mini light to check that its bulb works. Smear E600 adhesive all over the sides of the LED light. Slip the light, bulb facing down, into the tube lightbulb so that the bottom of the Orientalight G24 LED lights sits level with the edge of the lightbulb's brass fitting. The fit must be very snug.
7 Allow the adhesive to dry overnight. Turn on the LED light so it illuminates the colored alcohol. Turn the bulb right-side up.
Tips & Warnings
LED mini-lights lights are usually shaped as small, squat cylinders. You can find mini lights in many dollar stores.
