“Bucket” lights, made from old stoplight lenses in green, amber and red, are the brainchild of San Francisco–based architectural designer Daniel Krivens, who has collected about 40,000 discarded traffic-light lenses to remake into light fixtures. “I like doing the right thing for the planet,” Krivens says. “It makes sense to use what’s around, take what you have and make it magical.” Krivens’ dimmable night-light creations are compatible with fluorescent light bulbs. $90 for 8-inch-wide lamp.
