Default f4i lights in room?

Alright this might seem dumb for some people and not sure if it belongs under this catagory but here goes.
i recently come across a F4i Headlight upper and screen. While looking at it, i thought since i dont have lights in my room (just a floor lamp) mayb i can somehow modify it and mount it in corner of my room and have it turn into my room light. Any ideas or suggestions?
thanks

Yeah, you could do it. You'd need a 12V converter that converts 120V DC into 12V AC and provides lots of amps in order to power the bulbs, whatever amps they draw, I don't know.

you're looking for a 12v power supply with enough amps to power the bulbs.

Why not just drill out the back for enough room for one of those small lamp bulbs, and silicone in in there?? I'm not Bill Nye the s\cience guy, but that makes the most sense to me. Cheaper and less to mess with.
