First there was the giant Atari joystick lamp, now there’s the Atari system and cartridge lamp made from a dead VCS (Video Computer System), 10 cartridges and a lampshade that features game box art. Hopefully its creator will hook us up with step by step instructions for a DIY project in the near future.

Think of it as a night light specifically made for warding of ghosts.

Motionlite is a universal, remote-controlled retractable wheel lighting LED system which is mounted in the wheel well of your car on a power telescoping six-inch arm that will illuminate your rims in a number of different colors. But why limit this to cars with dubs? You can always take the humor angle by installing this on a Model T or a junker with bald tires and rusted hubcaps… Instant funny.
You want mood lighting? You got it with this RC Star Wars lightsaber wall light. It’s cuts through the dark as quickly as it cuts through a potential sexual experience with 7 different color effects you can change at the push of a button.
Designed by Fabian Nehne and Martin Meier, this RGB light concept mixes things up with 7 colors to draw design inspiration from.

Honey, I’ve invited two old friends for dinner. Well, truth be told, they invited themselves—and our brains are on the menu. Also available in a dinosaur version.
Wanna make a lamp like this yourself? Just go and raid your local hardware store for paint swatches, cut them into coffin-esque shapes and assemble with plastic rivets like the designers at Emocja Studio. The result is a colorful but bizarre blob of a lamp that can morph into all sorts of shapes.
Designed by Marcus Tremento, the Getty Lamp is made from electroluminescent wire, perspex and, possibly, the fabric of time and space. Limited edition of 10.

Yesterday, when I posted on the Pac-Man (or “Puckman” as it were) bookshelf, I asked what you could use for the ghosts in your little display of gaming wall art. It looks like ginepro design has thought of that as well. The ghostly lamp is a wall sconce that would be the perfect complement to your Pac-Man bookshelf, or just flanking that Garbage Pail Kids wall graphic you have over your couch. So you live alone for a few more years. So what?
It’s hard to stay focused on the laptop when your USB monkey lamps look like they want to beat the hell out of each other. You may have to put work on hold and let these two duke it out in a male vs. female rock em’ sock em’ primate battle royal. The loser will be unceremoniously unplugged from the USB port while hanging their LED powered head in shame. Check out an additional photo after the break.
