Fly Swatter Compact Fluorescent Light Hack

Fly Swatter Compact Fluorescent Light Hack

 

If you have one of those electronic fly swatters kicking around you might want to hack it into a cool looking light. Steven from RimStar has just completed his Fly Swatter Compact Fluorescent Light Hack. The fly swatter is powered from 3 volts (2 AA batteries). The circuit produces a high voltage that electrifies a grid which the fly will short out through his body. The grid is removed and the circuit is modified slightly to optimize it for use with a CFL bulb.
