Jason’s version consists of three TERTIAL work lamps, fixed upside down to the ceiling. He says, “The TERTIAL lamp is the simplest and cheapest and I already had one laying around.

My solution was to add a bit of irony, surprise and humor to the problem.” Read more.

#5 TERTIAL ceiling light remix

tertial ceiling lightI needed something brighter to go over the desk in my office. My apartment came with a generic residential lamp that wasn’t quite fulfilling the light I needed to work.

So using about three Tertial Lamps from Ikea that I had found last year, I made a hanging lamp with four 40w bulbs that I can individually control with switches, that also plugs into the existing light fixture with an adapter I got at the dollar store, so I can turn the entire fixture on and off using the wall switch.
