The method's actually not too hard. All you really need is the bulb housing, some tin foil, clay, a chisel, a file, and an oven. I made some progress shots of the whole thing going together here www.flickr.com/photos/gianteye/sets/72157622545785329/

I made a desklamp tootribs.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/b3ta/Cybarbie/usb_barbie_desklamp.htm
LED based.
Sadly, apparently a cat ate it. Or at least ripped its head off.
So... would investors get a share of the profits of this venture?
Additional question : Will the final product have the option of a lamp shade? Incandescent bulbs get very hot and aren't comfy to look at directly.

You're not investing.You're donating. So no, no profits. All rewards for your donations are listed clearly on the page.

Cute Barbie lamp. I can see why a cat would seek to destroy it, though. It does have a similar brand of evil to the one cats contain.
Unfortunately I'm not taking investments, just donations. I have a hard enough time managing projects and making my own money back. I'm trying to entice people into donating with gifts that hopefully are about equivalent to the money they give with the time and effort and art I put into them. Still, it's all out of the goodness of your heart.
I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with the final product. I'm tempted just to go with the bare Edison bulb, which is bright enough to provide useful light but is still beautiful and comfortable to look at.
