What do you get if you combine a pro snowboarder, and LED suit, and a deserted French ski slope? Maybe one of the most mesmerising sports videos you’ll ever see, that’s what.
Besting both incandescents and fluorescents when it comes to energy-efficiency and eco-friendliness, LED bulbs unfortunately still haven’t caught on because they’re still too expensive. And even with a sub $US5 price tag, the Pharox 200 Blu still isn’t the perfect alternative.
It’s certainly a safety improvement, but Mercedes’ new active seat belt buckle should also eliminate the utterly annoying game of trying to find the connectors that have inevitably gotten stuck in-between the back seat cushions of a car.
By creating these lights with the exact same form factor as a fluorescent bulb, NetLED has made it incredibly easy to upgrade the lighting in a store or office to its LED tubes, which can also be remotely controlled over Wi-Fi.
You can forget about hanging it from your belt, because this miniature sun — masquerading as a torch — is heavy enough to need two hands to operate. And with 15,000 lumens, the XM18 is bright enough to illuminate a small planet.
LED televisions until now have generally just used an LED power source to light the LCD display. This differs from the Jumbo-trons you see at sports arenas, where each pixel is an individual LED. Now, Sony’s bringing the big-screen technology to your living room with its Crystal LED Display.
While YouTuber bkraz333 claims this contact lens with an embedded LED he made was an attempt to add a rudimentary VR display to his eye, I think I know the real inspiration behind it — Terminator cosplay.
Good lord. First it was glow-stick mouthguards. Then it was temporary tooth tattoos. Now, well now it’s a tiny LED that sits in your nostril and illuminates every time you breath.
Like father like son. If you thought James Dyson’s vacuums were expensive, his son wants you to pony up almost $US860 for an LED desk lamp that promises over 37 years of illumination thanks to space-age heatsink technology.
Before our Christmas tree lighting needs were taken care of with $US25 and a trip to Target, creating the atmosphere meant placing candles — wax towers topped with fire — onto seasonal kindling. Think it’s frightening now when your dog tugs a branch? Just imagine your living room bursting into flames for the sake of Christmas cheer.
