Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Accessories, USB, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,

For a little extra light on your desktop when others are sleeping or when you have to work late, this USB Mini-Lamp may be useful when you only need a small amount. Energy efficient, it is 5.6 x 5.6 x 38 cm and weighs 156g. With three LEDs, it has an on/off switch and can be adjusted by its metal gooseneck. Add an extra long cable and you could have yourself a decent night light. Recommended for indoor use only, the plug and play light is available for $17.00.

Alien Abduction Lamp to go into production

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Science,

As you may recall, we introduced you to the Alien Abduction Lamp last year, a prototype designed by Lasse Klein complete with a pulsating beam. Now it turns out that because of the hype, this is one idea that has reached fruition. Although no date has been set for its sale and there is no final word on whether it will be made in plastic or metal and glass, we are pleased that it will be coming to market. New to the lamp will be human and bovine abductees, for it is well known that aliens love people and cows. We’ll keep you posted on when the UFO becomes available.

(Thanks, Lasse)

Mini Traffic Light So you want to draw attention to yourself at work or have kids who just won’t quit. Try installing this Mini-Traffic Light. What better way to say coffee break or time out? At a size of 270 x 100 x 100mm and a weight of 290g, the light features an on/off switch and will handle 200/240 volts. We were also thinking it might be amusing if you lived on a corner and wanted to see the reaction of your neighbors. The lamp is available for a mere $16.00.

USB Smiley Lamp When you are working those late hours, what better way to make your co-workers hate you than by turning on your Neon Smiley Face? At a size of 18 x 9cm, plug it in to your PC or Mac USB port and let it shine. We guarantee that you either make tons of new friends or those who will try to have you fired. The neon gadget is also available in “Bar” and “@,” although we are not quite sure of the desirability of the latter. Each carries a price of DKK 99,00 (~$21.00.)

The “A Christmas Story” Leg Lamp

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Smart Home,

A Christmas Story Leg Lamps Chances are, you caught an airing of the holiday neo-classic “A Christmas Story” during the annual marathon on TBS—or like us, already know the movie by heart. Either way, you certainly recognize the iconic Leg Lamp pictured, a “major award” won by Ralphie’s clueless dad. If you’d like one of your own, here’s your chance! The ultra-tacky lamp comes in 2 sizes: 20 inches ($40 USD), and 40 inches ($200 USD), the latter being the same size as the original. A 3-way switch lights the leg, lamp or both. It’s never too early to plan for Christmas ‘08, people!

Mario Shroom Lamps Shine by USB

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Video Games, USB,

USB Mushroom Lamp We cannot believe the overabundance of USB gadgets that continue to pour into our e-mail boxes at an alarming rate. It may have something to do with putting out one more gadget before the holidays that we cannot do without. We know we have lots of Mario fans out there so we had to include these Mushroom Lamps. Made with a white LED, it is 13 cm around with a base size of 10.8 x 14 cm and weighs 161g. If you don’t have an available USB port, just pop in 4 AA batteries (not included.) It available in three colors for only $13.00.

ETree is Interactive

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Science,

ETree If you are looking for a non-traditional tree for the holidays, ETree may be the answer. The interactive electroluminescent lamp comes in a 15 x 15 x 8 cm size with 5 branches and a height of 50 cm, and a 30 x 30 x 15 cm floor model with 10 branches and a 150 cm height. Only for indoor use, we think that our neighbors would really be impressed by Kinetica Museum‘s creation which is available for £324.00 (~$666.00,) and £575.00 (~$1,200.00) respectively. It may be pricey, but think of how much you will save on ornaments and tinsel.

Gauche Gift of the Week

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Music, Portable Audio / Video,

Jukebox Lamp/iPod Dock We have seen iPod docks for playing and charging, mini-jukeboxes that flash and whir, FM tuners, alarms clocks, and oddly designed lamps. Combine them together with some built-in speakers and get this rather tacky 8 ½ x 10 ¾ x 20-inch Brookstone gadget, something you might get your Uncle Dennis to show you care, but not really all that much. He had better be a fave uncle, however, because it carries a MSRP of $99.99. We suspect that the next one will also vacuum your nightstand.
