Electric Light Flickers Like a Candle, Turns on With Magnetic "Match"
Posted by Sean Fallon at 1:15 PM on November 6, 2007
The Hono Light design by Japanese based company Metaphys brings a high tech edge to the traditional candle using an LED light source that flickers like a real candle and can be lit with a special magnetic match. It can even be turned off by blowing on it. Unfortunately, the product is only a concept piece at the moment —which is too bad because if you put a few of these together you could create some really interesting lighting solutions.

I have an idea for a concept light. Implant hairless rats with tiny but powerful LEDs at birth, driven by tiny magnetic turbines. Then when the rats are adult, put them in a magnetic cage and they'll become the ultimate conversation piece.
CONCEPT!!!!!!

Oh gizmondo, not only have you posted this twice already over the past year and a half, but the product is not just a concept piece, but has been available for some time.
A quick search of your own blog would be a wise way to spend 5 seconds before posting.
