Put Out the Lights
Do you have a burning desire to add some hot, contemporary detail to your decor? These stylish pendant lights, crafted from spent fire extinguisher canisters, will definitely get you fired up. Artist Valentino Llegada has found beauty in the sleek form of his utilitarian materials, and he enhances it by hand painting each one in sophisticated shades of black and gray. The aluminum material is lightweight and sturdy, and its interior is left with its metallic finish, which helps reflect the light out into the room. Available in two styles - cylindrical or with rounded edges - created by using either the top or the bottom of the canister. Comes fitted with a light socket and cord, and is ready to hang with included screw hooks. Cord does not have built-in switch. Handmade in Florida. Sold individually
Exclusively at UncommonGoods.

Valentino Llegada
Inspired by minimalist contours and industrial sculpture, Uruguayan artist Valentino Llegada first discovered metallic structures as an Academy of Fine Arts student in Montevideo. But like many successful artists, he's learned to temper his passion with philosophy: "Finding my life's passion was not my most significant discovery," he says. "What's been most important to me has been realizing that the ego makes us believe that we are the ones who create, design and invent." See all creations.

Valentino Llegada's handmade Fire Extinguisher Lights are a stylish and uncommon use of common materials. Do you love the lamp made from the rounded top of the fire extinguisher, the one made cylindrical bottom, or would you mix and match?
Terri
These are great. I have a friend who enjoys the industrial look and these would be perfect for her.

They're unique, they're a useful item, they're attractive, and they're neat. What more could someone want?

Really cute but overpriced. If they sold as a set at that price I would definitely buy them.

I like seeing new items that were created by using items that would have ended up in a ladfill. For people who like look of modern, here you go.

Would love to see these in more/different colors. Black is not my style but I love the idea.

Only concern would be if the lighting were only task lighting or was it to illuminate an area such as over a kitchen counter bar? Black not too good to throw off light.
leigh
no opinion

This is awesome looking, perfect for some uncommon home decor. Does the aluminum lampshade get hot over time? That's my main concern.It's always great to see items hand-crafted in the US!

Love the recycling. Not sure how much light they will put out. Would look great in a modern design home. Maybe a "man pad".
Kim
Vote: Thumbs down!
Not my style, but maybe a few more pictures would be helpful. Perhaps showing them lit up? I simply can't tell if they are supposed to be translucent or just shine light from the bottom...

These would look perfect in an old farm house kitchen. I don't think the price is that bad. Love that they are recycled and made in USA.

opverp[riced and awfully small for a fire extinguisher recycle.. seems asbout the size of a spray paint can....
Jennifer
Vote: Thumbs up!
I think these are cool looking - love that they are recycled and made in the USA. Keeping them after ordering would depend on light output you can get from them though. Like the bottom half better, but also like a mix/match option
