Artsy lighting is a great way to accessorize your home. Whether it is practical or not, these Bamboo Lights, manufactured by Yamagiwa are too cool. The designer, Pablo Reinoso was inspired by the varied uses of bamboo in Japan.

My obsession with lighting continues.
These things are just fantastic. Each light bulb, created by Chris Kabel, is encased in a capsule of sorts that has an adhesive backing for you to stick the light bulbs where ever you please.
The only downsides are that it seems the sticky is an all-or-nothing deal where if you don’t like where you stuck it the first time…too bad. Plus you’ve got to by them two at a time at around $25 each. I guess that’s the price you’ve gotta pay for art…or something.
They’re available for purchase at 0900-design.

Instructables user, ebenupton, has posted a detailed run through of how you can build your own little disco drink coaster to wow your friends (or yourself, if you’re bored).
The coaster isn’t available for purchase and does indeed require a bit of electrical work, but just follow the instructions closely and you should be fine.
The coaster hooks up to your computer and will display any video on the coaster, giving a unique lighting experience for each person.
Check out this video of the coaster in action:

For $8 for 6 assorted colors, this is just too fun to pass up.

The “honeycomb” is made of silk worm cocoon…which I can’t decide if that sounds high-class or just gross. Regardless of the material, it’s a pretty slick looking piece of lighting.
It’s approximately 8 inches in diameter is available for around $45 from Wrapables.com.

These candles look almost exactly like real candles (they’re made of wax) and function like a real candle (the LED light flickers like a real flame), but not only do you actually “blow” to turn it off but you do the same to “light” it as well!
This might be more fun than I can handle.
