All those fireflies you caught as a kid and wasted with your car grill as an adult have apparently had a significant impact on their population worldwide. So much so that Japan had to produce this terrarium just so they could be enjoyed on a regular basis. The bamboo cage comes complete with vegetation and three electric fireflies with LED ass-lighting action. The product measures 12.5cm x 15.5cm x 10cm, and includes 2AA batteries.

 Formiga Light

To the wealthy and refined, this is unique lighting on the cutting edge of functional contemporary art, and well worth the $4,320 price tag. To everyone else, it’s an image of what you’d get if a caterpillar had sex with a zipper in a pile of nuclear waste. This is how comic book characters are born, people.

When you connect your MP3 player to Rocky The Monster, you get all sorts of action. The music plays out his two speaker ears, he rocks back and forth to the beat and his hair has LED’s that will change color. There is no guarantee that this speaker can do miracles like making the Jonas Brothers listenable though.

Need some hands free lighting? How about pushing those boring conventional flashlights aside and lighting up your junk with three ultra bright LEDs and a tuft of pink pubes courtesy of this Playazon Merkin Flashlight? You can rename your genitals “Crotch Cousteau” and allow them to blaze an uncharted path from the bed to the bathroom without waking your partner. Plus you get a second set of forbidden fur in “Arctic White” for you older folk who want the carpet to match the drapes. Yup, crotch lighting is all about inclusion.
