Have you ever been in a situation when you need to look and dig for something in your bag in the dark? You can use your mobile phone for light, but that means you can only use one hand to dig while the other holds the mobile phone. Bulbo, a ribbon with LEDs could solve your problem. This device is an add-on module that could fit in any bag you have. It features silicon bulb on one side and a clip that allows you to attach it to any bag. This ribbon light generates its own energy for the light. As you can see in the picture, there’s a sphere that will levitate outside the bag to harness kinetic energy for the battery. Finding stuff inside your bag in the dark won’t be a problem anymore.

Traffic lights are one of the most overlooked things in our everyday life which I guess would left behind forever unless Cheng Tsung envisioned this energy efficient and eco-friendly traffic light concept that features innovative color-changing LED technology instead of existing incandescent bulbs. This will enable even the visually impaired or color blind people to read the traffic lights through strong visual sense created by only one light. Rather than taking electricity from the power grid, this concept features solar panel on the surface through which it accumulates solar energy which will save around 1 billion degrees of electricity every year.

Turn off the light and listen. Light Pool is a mobile phone that can create a fantastical world through the fusion of light and music.

The beautiful and simple shape of this lamp created by Daniel Love, will bring peace into your home. It relaxes the eyes with its upside down L-shape and two color tones. The lamp uses two fluorescent tubes, one white and one red. Here’s where it gets interesting, the designer didn’t use the two different light colors just for design, they are for the interesting feature the lamp has been enhanced with. This lamp has the ability to show you the time. By hosting light as an interesting creation, the attributes of light can be further exploited by having two fluorescent tubes acting as the short and long hands of a floor standing clock. In his creation, Daniel, prevented the strong glare of the fluorescent tubes, by housing them in metal tubing.

When night falls and the surrounding darkens, the light goes into action. The metal housing of the tubes is outlined by the light, showing the silhouettes of the hands. This clock can be easily read, just as a normal analog clock. It’s not only an outstanding view, but it’s also useful. The two colors of the fluorescent tubes have their saying now. The red tube represents the short hand of the clock. The white represents the long hand. This outstanding lamp fits in any home, apartment, office, hotel room or you name it, regardless of the interior design, due to its dual usability. Daniel Love did an incredible job, giving an ordinary table lamp a new feature and usability.
