Klipsch Light Speakers – Wireless Light Bulb and Speaker Combo Plugs into Light Fittings

by Jay Garrett on January 5, 2010

The future is now!

Who hasn’t dreamed that they could do away with speakers that clutter the floor or wall but still have music piped into every room?

Well, the Klipsch LightSpeakers could be for you my friend.

These speakers screw into your light fittings and before you say: “Great; I get sound but no light” these also pack LEDs!

The LightSpeakers fit 5 and 6 inch screw light fixtures so you can replace the usual bulbs you use with a set of these Klipsch ones, which will last for 40,000 hours – or there abouts.

They can even be dimmed for those more moody moments.

Sound comes thanks to a 20 watt 2.5 inch wide dispersion driver.

The LightSpeaker kit comes with a transmitter, which connects to a PC, CD player or iPod and sends the audio to as many as eight of the light bulbs with two separate zones.

For two LightSpeakers, transmitter, remote and the necessary cables cost $599 and then it’s $249 per extra LightSpeaker.

These curious things will be available at the end of the month.

Mike Thompson’s Blood Lamp Changes the Meaning of “Turn Those Bloody Lights Off!”

by Jay Garrett on September 22, 2009

bloodGoths seem to be seen as having an overlap with the whole vampire thing.

Well this clever design sounds like it could well be a vampire/goth band………………….

Granted – I’m eagerly awaiting series 3 of True Blood and I have been known to hang out with members of the London Vampire Group and have actually read some Poppy Z Brite and Anne Rice novels – but that takes nothing away from Mike Thompson’s design.

Welcome to the stage – “Blood Lamp”

As you may have already guessed this light actually generates its power from blood.

MWAHAhahahahaahahahahahhah!!

Errrrrrrrrr…… yeah.

To light up the lamp the user must break off the top of the lamp, dissolve a tablet in the solution and use their blood to power the light.

The point of this exercise is that it forces the lamp lighter to consider when the most important time to use the light is.

Basically; it forces them to be more considerate and reflect of how wasteful we are with energy on a daily basis.

We’ve all muttered that mantra.
So when I saw these CCTV’s for inside the home I was curious.
When I found out that they were actually lamps – BONUS!

Light Saber USB Lamp – Jedi Lighting

January 29, 2009 Click to read more →

We all love Star Wars (at least the original trilogy) and Light Sabers are totally cool.
Some of us are too old to go leaping about making the relevant noises with a replica saber.
And our partners may question the amount of time we give to building our own custom Light Sabers.
But, surely, we’re allowed to have [...]

Good Night Eileen Lights Up Your Old Fashioned Boudoir

January 15, 2009 Click to read more →

Steampunk likes to oldify new tech so this should be a winner.
It’s a bedside lamp that obviously takes its design cues from those classic candlesticks from days of yore.
It even has a porcelain base to complete the overall look. 
Generally it will sit on its base on your bed-side table or perhaps your dresser – which is nice.
But that [...]

Violet dal:dal – Living Colours and Audio Micro Messages

Here’s another cryptic release from those strange folks at Violet – you know, those that brought us Mir:ror and the interactive bunny Nabaztag.
I remember the original Dal Lamp that was released 4 or 5 years ago had a rather hefty price-tag so I’m hoping that this new version will be a little more wallet friendly.
The [...]

It will work well for campers as well as those of you that would rather carry a torch around [...]
