Recycle an Old Digital Camera Into a Night Light

If you’re looking for a clever way to recycle an old camera, this simple hack turns the camera housing into a night light.

Photography Laura Merz took an old Kodak digicam and hacked apart the guts for some stylish night-time illumination. She writes:

I took out all the tiny screws and gutted the camera very carefully as to not crack the exterior case. Be careful — some of the parts are pretty sharp. Removing the lens is the last step, and allows you to insert a small round night light through the opening. I had to crack off the exterior casing on the night light, but with a little force, it snapped right off.

Inserting the light right into the body of the camera is a clever way to have to avoid any heavy rewiring.
