Night Light Table

The Night Light Table is a collaboration between designers Charlie Crowther-Smith and Richard Bannister. They wanted to design something that emitted an ambient glow that also functioned as a piece of furniture. LINK: The Presurfer

Photos of a day-glo, underwater world

The Dyche Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas has this almost hidden little room in the basement where you can go in, close a curtain, flip on a blacklight and watch as a collection of seemingly ordinary rocks light up with a fluorescent glow. This series of images, taken by photographer Louise Murray, reminds me of how much I like that room at the Dyche. Only, instead of rocks, Murray snaps photos of coral, fish and other sea creatures, using a portable blue light.

Twinkling Fiber Optic Starfield

Many people put glow-in-the dark star stickers on a child’s bedroom ceiling. With this Instructable, you can go all the way and have twinkling fiber optic stars! The project is just one of many listed in Instructables’ Best of 2009 list. You’ll find links to the most popular projects of the year broken down by categories (art, home, food, pets, games, etc).

Wine Bottle Candle Holders

“These 100% authentic oversized wine bottles are recast into candlelight beauties for your home. A celebration of the ‘Big Bottle’ party I created years ago for the Wine Auction Napa Valley, our limited-edition Wine Bottle Hurricanes re-purpose the out-sized bottles used exclusively by winemakers for special bottling. We’ve hand cut each and carefully polished the edges to create dramatic and evocative hurricanes that glow with flickering candlelight.” LINK

Rug Glows with Each Step

It only makes sense: a rug that lights up when you walk on it. They call it Footlume.

“The glow that the rug emits is very soft,” said co-inventor Leona Dean, of London South Bank University, who also noted the innovation’s party applications, “It can provide ambient mood lighting or flash in time to music as a talking point at a party.”

Dean and another LSBU engineering student Zoe Robson developed the light-up rug, called Footlume, for a college course, and they will exhibit the innovation at the Daily Mail Ideal Home Show in London this month.

The electroluminescent rug uses rechargeable batteries and lights up in response to the weight applied when a person walks across the carpet.

It could also light the way to the bathroom in the night and serve as a child’s night light. Footlume is a prototype, but could be produced commercially if investors are interested. Link -Via: Digg, Via: Neatorama

Light source glows for 12+ years without power

Lightroenergy is an amazing new source of illumination which can produce a bright glow for up to a dozen years without any electricity or exposure to sunlight.
Litrospheres are tiny self-luminous particles which can be injection molded or embedded into paints. Brightness is said to be about the same as that of a 20-watt light bulb, but I’d imagine that would depend on how much surface area is covered with the particles. The material is extremely cost-effective, covering an 8.5 x 11 surface for about 35 cents. The particles can even be customized to give off just about any light color. There’s a good description of how the technology works over on PESWiki.

MPK, the company that manufactures this glowing goodness expects Litrospheres to make their first appearance in safety gear, but I’d love to coat all kinds of surfaces with this stuff. Can you imagine how cool it would be to drive down the street in a luminescent car? LINK
