Drumlight: Total cost about $10. I make these from a laser cartridge drum from work.

I gotta say, that is neat. Can you go into more detail about their construction?
That is neat but how bright is it?

It all depends on your abilities, what tools you have access to, and your creativity, as Lighthouse one has shown. For example, I have a miniature mill that I can use to make stuff with and I have yet to make a flashlight because my abilities with it are lacking.
Lighthouse one, those are such cool lights! Just be glad that Uncle Sam had outlawed selenium photoconductive drums years ago. All current photoconductive drums are supposed to be safe to handle. It must have made a real mess extracting those, too!
