Design Miami features hand-blown glass lamps
By Abby McVay on Friday, Jun 6th 2008 No CommentsLED lighting system remote controlled from BlackBerry
By Chris Davies on Thursday, Jun 5th 2008 No CommentsIt’s still early days for LED home lighting systems; they’re certainly more flexible and, in some cases, efficient than traditional lighting, but for now they’re seen as a niche product. Buying off-the-shelf is limited, so usually your choice is to pay for a custom install or build the whole rig yourself; this Instructable goes for the latter, and details a homebrew system that’s either controlled by what’s on the TV or remotely via the owner’s BlackBerry. Make sure to check out the video of the set-up in action after the cut!

By Abby McVay on Friday, Apr 18th 2008 No CommentsIf you haven’t felt quite enough like a ninja lately, a bit of quirky lighting might boost your confidence a bit. Especially if it seems sharp and dangerous, okay it might not really be, but it is shiny and designed after a dangerous weapon.

Saitek PK17U Cyborg gaming keyboard – might come alive and blind you with its lights
By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Apr 10th 2008 2 CommentsThis keyboard almost scares me a little, I mean its certainly intimidating to look at.
