  1. Daniel says:

    Hey look, a baby Christmas tree is growing from their ceiling.

  2. towny says:

    poor mans chandelier

  3. notanengineer says:

    oh… this gives meh the jolts….
    *fetches a pair of insulated diagonal pliers*
    *heaves a sigh of relief and calls the electrician*
    *passes the inventor of this awful mess a knuckle sandwich*
    “And stay down *insert many swear words here* !!!”

  4. herds789 says:

    It snuck down from the attic last night.. And when we least expected it, CLICK! Aaaaah! The lights went on and we realized we live here. It was horrible!

  5. DVS says:

    Since it used 1/3 of the energy, we can use 3 of them!

  6. Dogmeat says:

    Ceiling Cat was tired of just sitting back while the world went by below. After fashioning a number of light bulbs together, he lowered them from his lofty perch. Who could have predicted that one day Ceiling Cat would stop watching to investigate?

    • kc/cc says:

      I, for one, am not pleased by this turn of events, although I can honestly say that it was only a matter of time. Ceiling cat has now left the position of remote voyeur to find a more up-close-and-personal point of view, it would seem. This is the stage of stalking where the danger really begins. Are Ceiling Cat’s inappropriate behaviors about to accelerate?

  7. dono1 says:

    Now you can electrocute yourself with 75% less energy consumption.

  8. Lady J says:

    If you keep on pulling, just like a magicians scarf, more will pop out.

  9. zhoen says:

    That is the ugliest art chandelier I’ve ever seen.

  10. Ducked Ape says:

    Oooooooh! Chain lightning! Aaaaaaah! Ack! Bzzzt!

  11. Donnie says:

    I imagine the person that spliced this idea together will feel a tingling sensation of enlightenment when they finally test this.

  12. Pete says:

    The fact that they took the picture BEFORE throwing the switch says a lot for their confidence.
    I smell an ‘after’ picture that involves fire trucks.

  13. Tuppy14 says:

    Standard French electrics. Nothing to see, move along.

  14. DragonStargazer says:

    Well, certainly puts a new twist on “green”, it’s actually quite vine-like, don’t you guys think?

  15. 5kidswdisabilities says:

    I don’t know about YOU guys, but I think it makes a lovely chandelier…

  16. Echo24 says:

    See the one on the bottom? It’s sad because it has to share a wire with its older brothers.

  17. TexasDan says:

    This is crying out for a pull chain.

  18. Sarge says:

    Three plain white lamp outlets: $27:50
    Six feet of three-wire cable: $15:99
    Not hiring a properly trained & certified electrician to install your new lighting: $130,000 in hospital bills.

    For idiots, there’s this kludge.
    For everyone else, there’s trained electricians.

  19. OhNoNotAgain says:

    As more and more bulbs came out when the electrician pulled, he started making small, frustrated noises. Silently, Nick the young magician chuckled maliciously to himself in the next room.

  20. BirdMan says:

    Watt the Volt are you talking about? Are you Green with envy?
    How much more eco-friendly can one ask for? If some Ohm grows too tall, and consumes too many tree-sources, this Kludge will shockingly close their loop!

  21. WewtSauce says:

    WHAT?! What was that guy thinking, not connecting the ground wires with wire nuts and not using pigtail splicing?

    Talk about not conforming to code.

  22. Ducked Ape says:

    Wire they doing this?

  23. Sarten-X says:

    I particularly like that the ground wire is connected all the way down to nothing.

  24. Thadius says:

    Shockingly, I too was stunned to see three bright young bulbs off themselves.

  25. Ishkfe says:

    I’ve always liked abstract art.

  26. anodean says:

    Having attached all the lamps at once, our highly efficient home engineer has gone back town the hall to yank the other end of the circuit *really hard*, in order to make all the fixtures pop into place on all the ceilings between here. *Then* he’ll connect the wires to the fuse box, and *then* all the lights will go on. It says so in the book.

  27. ann says:

    oh good lord, somebody call the Suicide Prevention Hotline, ’cause we got a winner here for them…..

  28. stanman13 says:

    (mumbling) Tell ME I’m not bright enough to wire the house… I”LL show them bright…

  29. Chris says:

    For those times when one just isn’t enough.

  30. dmmcintyre3 says:

    It’s not kludge, there is proper sockets for the flicker lights there

  31. herds789 says:

    I’ll bet it is connected to a wire in the garet.

  32. Tyrant4b31 says:

    Redneck track lighting.

  33. kabukicho2001 says:

    Good idea! all the connections are in parallel.

  34. J says:

    Photographic evidence of Salvador Dali’s brief and unsatisfying first career as an electrician.

  35. tr says:

    how did you get a pic of my husbands electrical jobs?

  36. Chris Brooks says:

    It’s the elusive compact florescent vine. It creates it’s own light for photosynthesis.

  37. Alpha-Beta says:

    The invasion has begun *static* The lightbulbs *static* Send help *static* Oh god, they’re coming through the door AUUGGHHH!!! *contiuous static*

    -Meanwhile, at the Pentagon- “Sir, we just got word of an invasion of fluorescent lightbulbs that are rampaging throughout the country.”
    …”Dear God! Quick, turn off all the light-aarrrghhhh!!!!”

  38. It’s green therefore it must be safe.

  39. kf says:

    75 WATT
    0 THOUGHT

  40. ThatDarnCat says:

    This is how houses burn down.

  41. SteveL says:

    It’s so ugly that only the blind would live there.
