Could this be the best ever use for a deceased jellyfish? A bright spark has found an ingenious use for the corpses of the sea creatures: making them into glow-in-the-dark lamps.

After a jellyfish dies, the firm freeze its body using liquid nitrogen, which they then set in crystalline resin - a special sort of resin that can withstand working at ultra low temperatures - creating a cast of the body, which is set in an ovoid mould shaped like the resulting lamp.

However, some of the lamps come with a special base that can add an eerie glow to the jellyfish so that the light can be used as a more traditional light too. www2.tvboxnow.com& |% f% e9 g+ f3 A( w1 \

The lamps are made with a variety of different jellyfish breeds, from the more common blue or yellow jellyfish, which are made into lamps costing around £20 to £25 ($25 to £29) to the Red Devil Medusa, which sells for around £110 ($169.99), or a 'rare blue green' jellyfish for £115 ($179.99).

JELLY FISH: THE FACTS  In the wild, jellyfish have a natural life cycle of around six months - they are attacked by a form of bacteria after breeding that kills them. The jellyfish used in the lamps are reared in an aquarium, meaning they have a lifespan three times longer. tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb+ t2 d( H" `* V% I4 b# w" i1 X
