Much of the time, chandeliers are displayed as a room’s luxury centerpiece. Usually made of crystal or glass, I’m always so tempted to jump and swing from every chandelier I see, yet personal property laws tend to deter me from such actions. The Do Swing concept is a light fixture which is made for doing exactly that. Hang from the ceiling, make guttural primate noises, work on your gymnastic act, do whatever you desire. The choice is yours.

Spring and summer are just around the corner, and that means whipping out the old grill for some Fourth of July barbecue. Mmm…ribs. The temperature can get pretty steamy in these seasons, but not nearly as hot as when you are cooking over the grill. Some people hate the heat so much they resort to cooking their burgers in less orthodox ways. The BBQ Fan and Light make sure you have a constant stream of fresh air headed your way....

Much of the atmosphere of a bar is set with the dim lighting and bright hue of neon lights. There’s something about that contrast that is alluring. The USB Neon Sign allows you to have your own neon goodness right on your own desk. The sign is available in three designs, including the @ symbol, a smiley face, and of course, the word “bar”. Depending on your vice of choice, whether it be geekery, happiness, or the sauce, there is... Continue reading

While we were never under the assumption that car bombing could be demonstrated cinematically as an art form, we have been proven wrong. The “I Want To Believe” exhibition from artist Cai Guo-Qiang at the Guggenheim Museum in New York displays 9 suspended cars, sequencing the movements of a car bombing. Enhanced with a spectacle of lit strands and a great sense of complex balance, “I Want To Believe” is all the proof we need to show that even horrific... Continue reading

You would think, with how things are today, that everyone is being watched all of the time. And you would be wrong, of course. Just paranoia is all it is. What was that I just saw in the sky? Oh well, no bother. The Surveillance Light, which is not watching you, is a floor lamp modeled after the cameras which are not hidden everywhere, watching your every move. — Andrew Dobrow Link [via]

The One Man series of gadgets is a favorite of ours, but wow, the things time can change. Not so long ago we talked about One Man Stuck, which featured One Man (also known as Mr. P) with a penis large enough to act as a wine cork (pretty huge for his size in relation), yet One Mac Shy has to cover his head in shame because of his dinky winky. His small (ahem) lamp switch most have either of... Continue reading

It’s a common saying in Japan that UV light is the biggest enemy to women because it makes them age faster. So a lot of beauty products have been abusing this concept to target its consumers. Instead of trying to reverse the damage, wouldn’t it be great to have something handy to warn you just before those freckles come out? You got it, the “UV Beads Checker” will change color under strong UV light. So you’ll know just exactly when... Continue reading

Japanese are obsessive with hygiene, so much that somebody invented the ultimate toothbrush carrying case with built-in UV lamp; supposedly it’ll kill germs. While everything sounds so much like a dream, the case is so portable, the UV lamp runs on AAA batteries. So the guys who tested it took it for a try, their conclusion this morning is that it works! Though we have no chance to verify their claim of removing “99.999% germs”, what we’re certain is that... Continue reading

Not sure if you have ever noticed that some fluorescent lights do glow in the dark for a while after you’ve turned off the power, that’s because the excited particles (ions) take time to give out the light (photon) after being excited by electrical energy. NEC has extended this behavior of fluorescence material and apply it to their new Hotalook-alpha household lighting system, which was demoed at the Lighting Fair in Japan. This has captured immense attention in Tokyo as... Continue reading

Heck, how does that work? No photoshop, no fancy tricks; works on any of your lights at home, too. We have the answer after the jump.
