Desk Lamp Created Out of Junky Rotary Phone
Although it's cute and clever, imagine the mayhem this table desk telephone lamp will cause. We'll start hearing reports about grandpas with singed ear hairs and dumfounded children who can't get their telephones to turn on. [Junktion via DesignBoom]

Share Aware Lamps: The Greenest Way to Pick Fights at Home
Here's one way to raise energy consciousness: Share Aware lights are connected to each other by radio, and share a finite amount of energy. When you make one brighter, the others get proportionately dimmer, but dim yours, and the rest get brighter. I can't see any problem with that. More »

Oxygen Tank Lamp Is Sure to Make Loved Ones Smile
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.

Mud-Powered 'Soil Lamp' Proves Water and Electricity Go Together Well
This zany lamp created by Marieke Staps outdoes most lamps in more ways than one: the electricity is powered through the organisms contained in the mud. The mud is enclosed in cells that contain copper and zinc, which conducts the electricity in the LED. Besides doing wonders for your energy bill, Staps claims that the only thing the lamp needs is a "splash of water" every now and then. I wouldn't stand too close when you are doing it though, or the end result might be akin to sticking a live hair dryer in your bathwater. [Marieke Staps via MAKE]

Neon Scarface Rifle Lamp Threatens Consequences Beyond Tackiness
You may be tempted to buy the Neon Scarface Rifle Lamp, and you may even notice that it has an affordable $67 price tag. But we don't recommend the purchase because somewhere, deep beneath the Earth's crust, there lives a little mole-like man who keeps a very large list, and people who buy things like this lamp, Elvis plaques and fart detectors go on that list. While no one knows the ramifications of having one's name written on the sacred paper, we're pretty certain that it has nothing to do with free ice cream and puppies, or spontaneous fornication with aspiring models.

Math Lamp Requires You To Number Crunch For Light
The arithmetic-challenged should avoid this lamp at all costs, because to turn it on, you're required to correctly solve a math problem. From the looks of this Mingyu Jeung creation, problems appear to be of the simple add/subtract/multiply/divide variety, so you don't need to be a math major to safely navigate your home. But if you're really bad at math, look on the "bright" side—you'll save a lot on your power bill! [Yanko Design]
