Eco-friendly wind up lamp looks cool, saves energy

By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Sep 26th 2007 No Comments

This cool lamp has a giant wind up knob on its back. I think it looks pretty cool, and the fact that the handle not only winds up the spring inside, but acts as a timer, I think that’s great.

It will also be one of the few lamps that get its power from you, the winder. I don’t know what the deal is with Earth friendly lighting solutions, but this is the third this week, first it was the 8 watt 400 lumen LED, then it was the Firewinder yesterday, and now a wind up lamp.

Firewinder is a spinning wind-powered light source

By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Sep 25th 2007 No Comments

Tom Lawton designed this awesome thing that converts just a little breeze into a lot of light. It doesn’t get bright enough to be useful for work, but it will provide a little light, and act as a beacon of sorts.

It will work with wind speeds as low as 3 miles per hour, all the way up to 40mph. The optimum speed is 5-7 mph though.

LED from Seoul semiconductors could be world’s brightest

By James Allan Brady on Sunday, Sep 23rd 2007 1 Comment

One LED, on average, will put out about 100 lumens, this new LED, four times that. That’s right, 400 lumens from one LED, I know what you are thinking, this thing must suck a lot of power, not so much, eight watts.

The average light of the LED is actually 350 lumens and the maximum is 420 lumens. That’s still not bad, 350 lumens from a single LED at 8w means they can start implementing them for cheap hopefully, in the industrial and residential markets. Just imagine how much energy your city would save if they switched their street lights to this?

DIY Daft Punk disco-floor table

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 20th 2007 No Comments

My plans for a luxury lifestyle are constantly scuppered by not having more than a few pennies to my name, so I’m forced to admire stunning pieces of modern design through the shop windows (before I’m moved on by the police) rather than in the comfort of my own home. That’s why it’s so good to see a DIY version of furnishings store Habitat’s Daft Punk-designed LED disco table. For around €325 the writer of this Instructable put together his own mini dancefloor (though you probably wouldn’t be safe to clamber up on it) which looks, to my greedy eye, a pretty good facsimile of the original.

The Slinky Desk Lamp

By Abby McVay on Wednesday, Sep 12th 2007 No Comments

Why would one need a Slinky Desk Lamp? To prove that we’ve never quite grown up of course! Which is somehow way cooler if you’re above thirty, if you’re in your twenties trying to climb that corporate ladder it just makes you look immature.
