Ikea Lamps and DIY Platonic Solids.

Make Magazine shows "[i]n this Instructable, the builder combines a bunch of $5 Ikea "Lampans" into larger spherical, Platonic-y lamps."

See the flickr set for more pictures and my log.

The "Instructable" in question (pdf) "... shows you how to build large spherical lamps out of Ikea lampan lamps ( $4.99 each ). The lamps are based on platonic solids. With this method I have built large spheres up to 32 lamps.
In the PDF below i included three templates: for the six, twelve and 32 lamp versions. These are all generated from a python script in the Maya software. I calculated that the largest sphere that could be build has about 120 lamps and i would love to build that one; but it will be heavy and bright and probably needs some serious thinking on the structural integrity."
