The address numbers are available in two colours; natural aluminium and soon, black.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/More-Solar-Powered-Home-Address-Lights Flexible LED Lights by Mule Lighting
We have incorporated light emitting diode (LED) technology into a flexible and durable package that has the appearance and brightness of traditional neon. Our uniform and super-bright light output is achieved through a proprietary optical maximization technique which is completely sealed and impervious to shock and vibration. The LED-FLEX product is suitable for wet locations and can withstand extreme temperatures. Offering bright color options, very low energy use and ease of installation, LED-FLEX is the ideal lighting solution for any architectural, decorative and indicator application where long life and no maintenance are preferred.

With the right touches, this could be useful in a home theatre or bar, or someone could make a seriously futuristic basement - or maybe a Tron suit, but of course that's been done to death already.]]> http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Flexible-LED-Lights-by-Mule-Lighting LED Faucet Light LEDs everywhere will be shunned by civilized society. Children will ask their parents to tell them what it was like having to live before LED toilet seats and blue LED faucet lights, like this one.

This particular life-improving gadget attaches to your bathroom faucet with its included universal adapter and is activated as the water flows through. Once the LEDs are on, the water glows space-age blue. The unit happens to be watch-battery powered, but wouldn't it be cool if it were powered by generating electricity from the water passing through it - would that be even possible or is the gadget simply too small to contain something like that? Anyone know?

    The SolarCap Lighting system consists of modular, self-contained lighting devices that can be used for decorative or traffic flow purposes -- powered only by solar energy. These unique devices incorporate the newest "EnergyCache" technology for energy storage, instead of the high maintenance rechargeable batteries that are currently used in solar devices. Unlike batteries which must be changed every two to three years and cannot tolerate environmental extremes, EnergyCaches enable SolarCap lighting to be used in any environment without maintenance for more than 10 years with a wide operating temperature range of -13°F -140°F (-25°C - 60°C). ]]>     http://www.househacker.com/permanent/Outdoor-SolarCap-Light-Emitting-Tiles     Space Age LED Home Lighting Solutions "the first apartment in the world to be lit entirely using light emitting diodes (LEDs)."

The Sharper Image now carries these LED votive candles that actually flicker.

Seems like an appropriate enough way to launch the site, no? Lots of great ideas, including:

  • The oft-recommended Hidden Door to a secret room - which would of course necessitate the obligatory Shakespeare Bust switch.

  • These soon (?) to be released Temperature Sensitive and LED enhanced faucets by German based Hansa.
