lightable - an LED table



This LED table, designed by Julian Appelius and Fabien Dumas, may look like a regular table at first, but that changes when you place something down. When an object—usually transparent—interrupts the path of the light through the table, the light gets transferred into the object and lights it up all pretty-like. Read More...

Tenori-On


pic-001
What if Lite Brite and a tablet PC had a crazy love child? It might look something like the Yamaha Tenori-On. The basic idea is, you press buttons on a 16×16 LED grid and trigger sounds and visuals; there are collaborative features for playing with your friends Tenori-Ons, and the back of the screen functions as an LED, so instead of a private trippy experience, everyone can see the fun.

Niteowl - a glowing smoking lit up drinking system!



Nite Owl is the name of a new party novelty, that combines a unique energy drink, a glow-in-the-dark shot glass tray, and dry ice.

How it works is it starts out with a special serving tray that incorporates a cool blue light illuminating the shot glasses. Then you pour in the Nite Owl energy drink. Next you insert a special dry ice capsule into the glass (the capsule is not consumed). Finally, you activate the shot with your favorite alcohol (vodka or rum is recommended).

You end up with an alcoholic energy drink that belches out smoke. Read More...

iGlow Hair Gel

US_iGlow_front_label_blue_circle_072806-208x208
Just likeVoltage, iGlow does not rely on UV, neon or black lights to create glow.  Instead, it produces its own light!  Tiny, microscopic particles in the gel come together in the mixing process to produce a bright colorful glow that can be seen in partial light and in the dark for several hours.

While iGlow is classified as a "temporary hair color" it does not actually color the hair cuticle.  It "coats" the hair with color.  The gel is the delivery medium for the luminescence (glow).  As such it is safe for color-treated or bleached hair when used as directed. Read More...

Glow Brick

glowbrick1
The Glow Brick, designed by Sam and Jude of Suck UK, is a cute little cordless nightlight made from a phosphorescent lightbulb (yes, a REAL lightbulb) embedded in a block of acrylic. It requires no electricity and can glow for up to three hours, “powered” only by light it soaks up from the sun or other artificial light sources, making it as energy-efficient and eco-friendly as it is clever.

Glowing with the aid of phosporescence (like the glow-in-the-dark stars on your childhood bedroom ceiling), the Glow Brick employs an often-overlooked material for efficient energy generation. Phosphorescence is an extremely promising source of energy-efficient light, and we’re not sure why more lighting designers aren’t experimenting with the environmental applications of phosphorescent materials.

Lightcast

lightcast
What takes 33 colorful LEDs, bolts them onto a spinning disc and affixes it all to a projector? Lightcast does, and doesn't care that its main audience will be stoners and ecstasy addicts. (You know who you are.) It works in conjunction with an audio source, including your oh-so-trendy MP3 player, then spins, pulsates and induces seizures by displaying elaborate patterns on walls, ceilings and whatnot.
