Etsy seller pieromenetti is offering this 47″ x 8″ Space Invaders LED backlit floor lamp which illuminates a column of aliens that will be visible even in a room that isn’t dark. My guess is if you decide to use it as a nightlight your dreams will become a time warp of pixelated laser warfare.
Check out a detail pic after the break.
If you’ve always wanted to pull a book on a big bookshelf and instantly gain access to a secret room, your dream is now one step closer to reality thanks to this secret passageway switch, which is basically an electrical switch that can be loaded and operated with your favorite hardcover book. If you don’t have a revolving bookcase and a secret room, you can always use this for the much more boring task of turning on a lamp.

This Pac-Man light installation from artists Benedetto Bufalino and Benedict Deseille was part of the recent Festival of Trees and Lights in Geneva, Switzerland.
I think we need something like this to replace stop lights.
This Toy Lamp sculpture from Ryan McElhinney is kind of like one of those sculptures of Dante’s Inferno with figures writhing in a mass of agony. Except this must be a circle of Hell reserved exclusively for nerds.

Although these are actually illuminated bedside tables, it’s hard to ignore the resemblance to those tiny desks you used in elementary school. All I need is one of those uncomfortable chairs with the big hole in the ass and some fruit snacks and I’m ready for storytime. Although it’s also nice to have something light the way to the bathroom at 4AM when you’re groggy and need to piss. Check out some additional photos after the break.
Looking for the perfect lighting effect for your next rave? Consider this Hi-Tec Art Cube which uses LEDs and a 4x4x4 cube to create “a mesmerizing light display”. Check out the video after the break to see how well it compliments electronic music.
Not supposed to be watching TV? There’s ways around that. Take this TV Flash Lamp, which will conceal your LCD mistress in the lampshade of a fully functional light. Whenever the coast is clear, you can lock the doors, slide the lampshade down, and bask in the glow of glorious digital entertainment. The next thing you know, you’ll be laughing your ass off watching people hurt themselves on Spike.

We posted on the availability of the Star Wars MP3 speaker lamp alarm clocks the other day, but it turns out that there is also an Iron Man version on its way. The title on the product page even says “Star Wars Iron Man 2 Lamp Clock”.
Now that would be an interesting movie mash up.

The wait has finally ended for Finn Magee’s Flat Light Poster, which is now available in a very limited quantity of 50 pieces. According to Finn, the design came about after borrowing an Anglepoise task light back in 2007. After noticing that the lamp provided an atmosphere of productivity and efficiency to the room, he decided to see if an image of the light could provide the same effect.
The Flat Light has been exhibited at the Royal College of Art Summer show in 2007 and as part of Designers in Residence at the Design Museum, London. The printed poster utilizes an LED for illumination and measures 16.5″ x 23.5″.
