Ikea Speaker Lamp

Yesterday we did a small half-a-day project to modify 2 Ikea lamps into a speaker set for the bedroom using 2 old speaker components from our old Philips widescreen TV. I used the amplifier of a broken set of pc speakers to power the speakers. It not the kind of thing for audiophiles, but we're satisfied with the result.
I especially appreciate the narrow form factor of these speaker components, which allows us to scale down the shades/covers in the future and play with some interesting form factors. We intend to use the pull switches on the lamps for some fun applications like Yasmina's Chatterlight© concept. For now we'll put that on our ever-growing ToDo list of prototyping projects.
