Who hasn't dreamed about owning a giant Atari joystick lamp? Seriously, its right up there with winning the lottery. The good news is that you can make it happen with a little hard work.
I don't know about you, but in my opinion the Lumina Italia Ra fibre optic lamp is the world's most strikingly nerdilicious gadget to ever illuminate a desktop.
Current lamps are pretty simple to use. I'm not so sure they're in need to a redesign. But we like this Bonfire Lamp concept all the same.
It's about a week to Christmas, and once again, you can't figure out that perfect gift for a loved one. Luckily, we've found the item that will offend any member of your family equally.
This interesting lantern concept from designer Young Bok Kim puts a modern twist on the ancient hourglass by draining the light from LEDs instead of sand.
While not as blatant as the noose lamp, these adjustable hanging lanterns have a similar deadly vibe about them.
This Dal Dal lamp is a lot like the Nabaztag bunny, which uses Wi-Fi to relay information from the internet into meatspace. Except this looks a lot classier.
The Drop Light is just a concept, but there's nothing going on here that's outside the realm of real world engineering. A normal light fixture at first glance, each bulb actually houses a rechargeable battery and a cool-burning LED, allowing, say, little Mary and Patrick to remove the fixture's globes and take them around the house to read and do homework. Then again, every night at dinner could become one big blame game over who lost all of the light bulbs...again...before Mary flips out and Patrick says everything's cool and Mary grabs a knife and Patrick says be careful and Mary drops the knife crying and Dad admits he took a bulb to work and the family has a group hug and Mary gets checked in to a care facility just in case.

I can't speak for everyone here, but most of us have 3, 4 or 5 industrial-sized oxygen tanks just rolling around, taking up precious space in our homes. Well here's a tip that'll put Martha Stewart's upcoming book Oxygen Tank Decorating Made Easy straight to the bottom of the charts. Just stick a lampshade on the thing, run some wiring through the base and presto—you have a cute lamp. If, of course, you already used up all of your oxygen tanks during our Halloween decorating extravaganza special from last month, this lamp is still available for an undisclosed price.

A bowl of Froot Loops and and a couple of eggs sounds like a delicious part of a balanced breakfast to me, but in this case both may be a little hard to swallow. Like the Froot Loop lamp, Ukrainian designer Igor Pinigin's "Egg Light" takes an everyday foodstuff and transforms it into a functional work of art. The design is only a concept (and it will probably stay that way), but I think it would be particularly interesting if each egg could be removed and used as a portable light source.
