Everyone has empty bottles lying around in their place. It’s just a fact of life, like lost socks. But now you can put those bottles to good use, not by recycling them into broken glass crumbs, but by adding in a simple LED lamp unit to convert them into a cool table lamp.

The Rechargeable Bottle Light is a USB powered LED lamp built into a handy bottle spout shaped device. Just charge up the product for around an hour, pop it into the top of the nearest empty, and bingo, you’ve got yourself a neat lamp which will give you 2.5 hours of illumination as needed.

Yes you could stick a candle on the table instead, or glue a flashlight to a block of wood, but c’mon where’s your sense of style? You can charge these doohickeys up in any USB socket, wall or on a laptop or something like that, and unlike candles, they won’t be blown out by a gust of wind on an outside table. Priced at £10 each.
