I restored this almost-quarter-century old standing floor lamp, and upgraded it with LEDs and an ESP32. Here's to the next 24 years.

I glossed over the whole part of making custom PCBs and electronics to power it all, and I'll be covering that in an upcoming video. For way too much money and time, you too can keep old lighting out of the scrap heap!

Stay tuned for next week's post where I go in-depth on the electronics that power this lamp. Maybe you can save a lamp of your own.
