We talked last week about some cool DIY lighting projects, and I couldn't resist sharing these clever recycled lights made from discarded Christmas trees!

Et Al. Collaborative creates their fLume lamps using old Christmas trees, fallen tree limbs, and wood reclaimed from landscaping projects. They try to only minimally process the wood, so each lamp is one of a kind with shapes that vary quite a bit. The only change I'd make to green this project up even more is use a CFL or LED bulb instead of the incandescent in these photos.

The Brooklyn-based architectural design group has worked on other reclaimed pieces, like an artist's table from a reclaimed metal door and a wood pallet tower for the Brooklyn Utopias? exhibition.

Have you guys run across any other examples of DIY reclaimed lighting? I'd love to hear about them in the comments!
