A few months ago, I decided to design up a video game themed lamp. The end result was the Zelda Triforce Lamp.
I designed all the pieces in Google Sketchup, and exported them to their respective SVG files for cutting on the laser.
After cutting each of the pieces, the lamp is assembled by hand, using acrylic glue to bind them all together. After the acrylic pieces are put together, a regular lamp cord with bulb holder is inserted into the bottom, and presto; you have a lamp 🙂 What I think adds a nice tough is the shapes cut into the side of the lamp; the Rupees and the Hylian crest. They manage to project shadows of their respective shapes onto nearby walls or objects. Really makes the lamp stand out.
Interested in a lamp of your own? I’m now selling them over at The Plasmatorium – Check it out!

[…] Mario Star definitely takes a bit more effort to assemble than the previous Zelda Triforce Lamp, but it’s worth it. It also looks pretty awesome on topof the Christmas […]
Hi, i’m trying to make one myself for my brother now that his bday’s coming and it would take too long to purchase one given that we’re now living south america. So could you please give me a picture of one of the sides of the lamp so i can send them to a laser shop asap so they get it done? Also, does the back of the lamp has a design or is it the same as the front? Please answer! I swear I am in no way trying to steal your idea nor trying to sell these lamps myself, I just want my brother to have an awesome bday gift and this I know he’ll love tons. Thx and very nice job btw!
Sorry Anne, I can’t quite hand out the design to other laser shops. But one thing I CAN do for you is let you know that I have a RUSH option available in my store, The Plasmatorium 🙂
If you ordered one of my expedited Triforce lamps, you would know it would be of the highest quality, since I have been making them for years and know all the little tricks there are to get them to look great, and it would be shipped out right away, most likely in time for your brother’s birthday.
