Flower Power! Plastic potted plant turns to nightlight
Meet Bloom's Daylight «table lamp.» Like this sun jar it collects energy during the day so that it can illuminate your room at night. In the morning the lamp looks like a potted plant— that flat «flower» on top holds a solar panel that spends the day collecting sun. When it's dark, just flip the plant over: it's shaped like a normal table lamp. The energy that the «plant» has been collecting all day is used to power the lamp's LED bulbs, which will burn from 2-40 hours, depending on how sunny it was.
Gorgeous hand-blown light bulbs turn mere illumination into high art
Let's re-consider the light bulb for a moment. Instead of a disposable, soulless compact florescent fixture, why not embrace a re-usable work of art like these dazzling bulbs hand-created by sculptor Dylan Kehde Roelofs?
LED there be light
If you feel like you've been wandering in the dark, this collection of different LED devices will help you find your way.
For all computer nerds, there is LaCie Hard Drive, Design by Neil Poulton. It has a unique distinguishing feature - a cool, blue LED strip on its underside that creates an ambient glow. Very small for its vast capacity, this lightweight, compact drive has a fashionable, mirror-polished finish.
L’arbre de Flonville
Samuel Wilkinson in collaboration with Swiss designers Oloom created the L'arbre de Flonville. This design is in the form of a metal tree, created to provide shade to those who sit under it on benches which resemble the roots of the metal tree. The tree is located in a public square in the new Flon quarter in Lausanne , Switzerland.
The Sound of Light
Not really what you think. The NewLight desk lamp has an integrated MP3 player. Although details are sparse, you can also load up audio books and have the lamp read to you while you fall asleep. Interesting concept. Perhaps the lamp light can slowly dim on its own at a preset time.
Soft Lighting Find Its Way
Reflected light on paper can be annoying, especially when one is reading. Soft Light provides the user with a luminescence that can be positioned to best suit the user's needs. It functions both as indoor and outdoor lighting, and gives the user the flexibility to «mould» its form to suit specific environments and conditions.
