Recycled Tube Light by Castor Design at the Interior Design Show in Toronto this week.  This industrial looking fixture is brilliantly made from recycled burnt-out fluorescent tubes and is lit using centrally placed lightbulbs. Of course, I’d like to think that one could use CFL’s to light it, but I couldn’t find any specific info about that on the Castor site. Still, I’m giving them full eco.props for recycling all of those old fluorescent tubes “from architecturally significant buildings” and giving them a new and landfill-free life. The Recycled Tube Light is available in “lengths of 15inches, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft and 8ft” and depending on the model, “they are capable of hanging horizontally, vertically or free standing.” :note: the 8ft length fixture is featured above.
