Bike Light
September 2013

This week-long university project had a simple brief - Create a product from scrap. During my scrap material hunting and trading I obtained a rusty motorbike exhaust, a damaged carbon fibre bicycle fork, and a warped bicycle chain set. When the three items were together, they naturally formed the shade, body and base of a lamp. I merged them together with some old electronics to create a pleasing result to the project.

Revisiting this project in September 2015,  I improved the finish and construction of the product by:

• Brushing the rust, soot and paint from the exhaust and chain set, giving them a clear coat of lacquer.
• Replaced all of the epoxy glue with mechanical connections.
• Updated the electrics with new wiring and bulb fitting.
