Those down-turned eyebrows tell us all we need to know about Mr. Switch’s mental state. We half expect lines of grief to form on his plastic forehead. Though this is great news if you happen to be the type that loves personifying their... Continue reading

Reading at night. Since children, we’ve enjoyed this ritual of waiting for the lights to go out then grabbing a flashlight and a book to read. But what about us older people who don’t have to worry about getting caught being up late but instead would like to read in the dark. After all, it feels great to pass out after reading a chapter of a new novel. Enter the Super Slim LED Page Light. For $25, you’ll never be... Continue reading

Traffic lights are an annoying but needed accessory to our daily life. When I used to drive, I’d get incredibly irritated with those new traffic lights that don’t show you what color it is until the last possible second. Now Art Lebedev is hoping to switch things up with these colorful, LED-powered square traffic lights. While red, green and yellow lights will be familiar, the shape of them gives them a new look that most drivers would welcome in a... Continue reading

Mmmmm! Wouldn’t you just love a dollop on your cheesecake? These festive lights have a real Seussian look to them and can apparently inflate in under 10 seconds. At $240, they’re quite expensive.

Ballpoint pens, CD cases and even milk crates can be used to make impressive-looking household decor and the creativity doesn’t stop there. Artist Michelle Brand uses cut-off plastic bottle bases to shower interiors with light. ... Continue reading

Found on Youtube, here’s a cool video of a guy who used 18 LEDs and an Arduino to fade the lights on a project case. The end result? A machine looking very similar to Knight Rider’s KITT. If you want to build your own, the creator, John Tokash, has included a HOWTO and Arduino code on his website. Get buildin’, Hoff! Link

My father still owns an 17-year-old desk lamp from IKEA that closely resembles the Hector Dome lamp from Graham & Green. The ‘Dome keeps your work area lit evenly with just the right amount of light. And it looks good while doing it too. Critics would argue the basic look of this lamp but I call it classic. Used car salesman lingo aside, the Hector Dome lamp would be right at home in Peter Keating’s office. At $205, it’s certainly... Continue reading
