Halley is this new illuminating device that has been designed by Jordi Vilardell and Merixell Vidal. At first glance itself you just fall in love with this thing. I’ll stop gushing about it now and tell you what this Halley actually is. It is composed of three fixtures including the illuminated part that you see in the picture, which is actually a LED strip.

Apart from how cool it looks, it is actually quite useful in several ways. Firstly, Halley allows you to fix it in different compositions, depending on how you want to light up a place. Secondly, it can illuminate a wider area. Thirdly, the lighting is not too din nor too harsh. And finally, it is super easy to assemble and then break up.

The way your lighting falls on the decor is actually what significantly shapes the way your interior actually looks as a whole. Yep, stocking your homes with expensive artefacts can be a futile act if you are not able to heighten its drama (subtle or dominant, the choice is yours) with the aid of a strong lighting system. Xentelon has attempted to make the work easier for you. The company has launched a series of light furniture which promise to bring a warm and elegant ambience to any room they sit in.

It is an innovation indeed. Xentelon light furniture makes use of light and color interaction to create a gorgeous illumination. One can spot the use of high quality materials and the fine craftsmanship in the media shelves (there are open ones as well) and the integrated LED lighting which will complement any modern decor.

There is no strict rule about containing lights to just the walls and ceilings alone. Then why in the world no body thought of this before! We are quite amazed to see waht the Italian company Colico has done with their sofas. For starters, they have LED lit them! This can best be defined as a step that has resulted in a fresh and a whole new look for that otherwise inconspicuous couch lying in your living room.

The same furniture unit has become very stylish and goes by the name Asami Light Sofa complete with contemporary graphics and LED accent lighting. And there is more to meet the eye. A remote control will let you change the color of the LEDs and create an ambience that suits your need of the moment.

They say, drinking milk is good for health and most importantly that it puts you to sleep. While I agree with the former and the latter, there is medical evidence to prove apparently, that warm milk can actually put insomniacs to sleep. If you are an insomniac like me, you would know that the claim is nothing better than an old wives tale.

Since the glass of milk can’t really put us insomniac’s to sleep, why not take a lamp and begin to read a book? Or how about lighting a dim LED lamp and have some great steamy moments with your guy? Well, you could do all that and more with this Glass of Milk LED Night Light, which gives you enough light to see what is going around, and yet isn’t bright enough to scorch your eyes. Read More

LED is much appreciated, be it in eco-friendly electronics or on your clothes. It doesn’t matter, we just love to see it everywhere! LED clothing really isn’t anything new for we have seen the likes of glow fur coats, LED tops and brassieres. But so far, these clothes were seen to be the forte of techie geeks alone. However, thing will change now. The London based designer duo CuteCircuit has taken matter in their hands to create a spectacular Galaxy Dress.

It took the winners of the Best Inventions of 2006 Award by Time Magazine for their Hug shirt close to 24,000 full color LEDs to design their new trend. Already being claimed as the largest wearable display in the world, the Galaxy Dress is quite a sight. It has been made from silk and then embedded with full-color LEDs. But this has been done without letting go og the comfy feel of the dress. The LEDs are like flat paper and measure only 2 by 2 mm.

If style got translated to switches, Sentido light switches have it full volume. Using Patented Multi-touch technology, Basalte has designed Sentido switches.

Each such switch is simple, yet, spells comfort, elegance and quality. Far from the jarring switch designs in living spaces, it complements the decor of such places. The switch is available on retail in two versions, two-way and four-way.

How does it work? The Sentido light switch uses patented multi-touch technology to detect a multiple keypress. By touching more than one area simultaneously, an extra comfort function is activated. This can be used to switch all the lights in the room on or off in a single movement instead of multiple movements.

It features a timeless design that would become relevant after decades too, using the soft touch technology and high-quality material.
The touch-sensitive surface is brushed with aluminum, and controls scenes or curtains with a mild touch and effortless ease.

The switch has a built-in temperature sensor. It means you get an idea of room temperature on the home automation system. It also has an integrated color LED that you can program to light up blue and locate it in the dark too. The switch has an integrated bus-coupler to connect to the worldwide KNX standard.

If you were looking for a cool concept car, look no further. I just came across this wonderful and almost futuristic TVR Artemis which has been designed by Niels Van Roij. It is named after the Greek goddess of Hunting and the car’s body is made of high quality engineering while a down force is given thanks to the under hood spoiler system.

The very same system also helps to cool down the car. The car is extremely lightweight and the slits on the body of the car are illuminated by LEDs at night. This allows approaching cars to identify the Artemis from a distance and save the occupants from disastrous car crashes.
