Ric Turner, a former Disney Imagineer, may have topped his previous interactive Guitar Hero Christmas display with this incredible Angry Birds light show which is “playable”:
Running on two computers and 10 Light-o-rama 16 channel controllers, uses more than 20,000 lights and less than one cent of electricity per game. Audio is broadcast on 99.1FM, and the controller has a long enough cord for people to play in their cars on the street. Easier than the iPhone version, and bigger too.
Unfortunately for Ric, all of his neighbors are now addicted to his house.
Check it out after the break.
The lights and sounds of a busy intersection are enough to scare you in the middle of the day, use that same adrenalin rush to wake you up first thing in the morning. The blaring music, screeching tires and honking horns of this alarm clock will be your penalty for staying out late drinking the night before.

This Halloween, replace those solar lights flanking your walkway with a set of these glowing body parts. Battery operated, the “severed limbs flash and glow an unearthly red.”

Turn your pool into a light show at evening with the Kaleidoscopic Pool Cruising Fish. Not only will it illuminate the pool with an array of colored lights, but it will swim along at a rate of 50 feet per minute. That will give the light show enough variety to cover you for an entire night of entertaining by the pool.

Why not mix it up a bit this holiday and decorate the tree with these little felt monster LED string lights? It’s like mixing Halloween and Christmas into some strange new holiday called Hallowmas.

What better way to unwind after a long day at work than to curl up with a cup of tea, a good book, and a nice orange light cascading from the chest of the dead body in the corner of your living room? These “Dead Lights” provide that warm, soothing, relaxing glow that’s perfect for falling asleep, watching the new romantic drama on Lifetime, or devil worship. You can choose from a charming corpse head, torso, or complete corpse to finish off that redecorating project you’ve been working on. Delightful!

The Flush Light is a replacement toilet handle that has a built in light on it. Push the black button on it and it gives you a soft glowing light to find the toilet by. Now anything that lets bleary eyed people have a better chance of hitting the toilet is a plus in my book, but I am not sure why reaching over to hit the light switch in the bathroom is such a chore but groping around the toilet in the dark is considered a convenience. It does have a small light to help guide you, but sleepy people still do not have their judgement quite at 100%.

If you wonder what good these lights are, I can give you two excellent reasons. First, anything that plugs into your USB port and is not associated with computing is cool. It just is. And if it happens to be fairy lights that you can drape on your screen that is acceptable. The second reason is that your work is not going to get done by itself when you are taking your daily nap. Maybe one time you will wake up and it will magically be done. The only answer will be the fairies.

The bank is cool. The traffic light design is cool. The fact that the only function of the lights is to blink when turned on is decidedly not cool.
The coolest part of having a traffic light would be having full control of all the lights. You can’t even use it as a night-light, unless that incessant blinking doesn’t drive them crazy which it would almost have to. So maybe this gift would be great for those you want to annoy?
