It looks somewhat like a flash attachment for a camera.

Re: WHAT IS IT? (4.00 / 3)

Going out on a limb - it looks like it is in a living room with a tv, so my guess is an avantgard lamp made out of plexiglas.

Well... It is now... Material is absolutely correct. But, what was it once used for, before appropriated by me?

Re: WHAT IS IT? (none / 1)

I am at loss, but as it looks like something out of a science fiction thing - okay, Scotty's beamer from the enterprise. :-D

Re: WHAT IS IT? (4.00 / 2)

I forget exactly what sciencey stuff you do now. Is it to do with splitting light or directing light beams? Or other energy?

Re: WHAT IS IT? (4.00 / 2)

Yes, indeed it is. It's a light collector, made for some detector or other. I found it in the trash.

No, no, no, no. This thing was built to be used for something. It was not originally decorative!

air guide for a cooling fan? or something to gather cables together.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Looks like a snow/ice scraper.
