With Blinds Like These, Who Needs Windows?

If your bedroom is positioned in such a way that you don’t get much light all year ’round, there’s a way to now fake sunlight with these illuminated faux-shades.

Designed by Makoto Hirahara, Bright Blinds are constructed from electroluminescent sheets and controlled just like conventional window treatments. Tug on the cords to turn them on and adjust the brightness with the plastic twisty-wand. Just make sure your cat doesn’t try use one as an escape route.

Bright Blinds are available at Generate, though no price has been set (read: they’re expensive). [Geekologie]

    So now all you need is to put a large photo poster of something pretty behind it and you can be anywhere in the world. I like this idea!

      It’ll be like living in a fishtank.

    Yes.. it’s a good idea.. but why would they be expensive.. some basic strip LEDs, basic blinds and some double sided tape. Sounds like a project for the DIY’ers out there.

    The EL tape it’s self would run in at roughly $1000
