Kind of creepy, but still amazing. [Yanko Design]

The Zero is available in several different configurations, ranging from a wall sconce to ceiling lamps to floor and table models. The lamps also come with color filters and perforations that create an other worldly ambiance with LED lighting effects. It's worth checking out Punto's other products as well—their self-titled and Linea lines are equally as impressive. [Punto via Trendir]

The company is testing the implementation of their lighting technology alongside their medical technology in Ambient Experience suites across the world.

And luckily, the other 9 modes appear far more serene than the "Australia" theme in our lead shot. Patients, in fact, are allowed to choose their own color palette, along with accompanying sounds and video that will surround them during procedures. In fact, this media environment can be so relaxing (or simply distracting) that it was said to reduce sedation needs by 28% in one Chicago-based study.

Actually, on second thought, that pink freaks me out even more than the red. [Philips via CNET]

As Unplgged noted, it's kind of like "an audio version of a lava lamp," which seems like a good way to describe a speaker that utilizes light and water. It's only a concept at the moment, but I like the visual approach to music. [Yuki Yamamoto via Designboom via MocoLoco via Unplgged]

The only problem is that Robolamps have not gone commercial, but if they did, I have no doubt that they would sell. Well, maybe not the robot that looks like it's admiring its own giant wang, but other than that...[Robolamp on Facebook via Pocket-Lint]

At first sight, the Fiat Lux Lamp is just a lamp: One plain orb with a smaller sphere attached to its side. It's just a lamp until you turn it on, by grabbing the smaller sphere and making if float under the sphere, where it will stay until you decide to turn it off. No wires. Just thin air between the lamp orb and the sphere, and the forces of magnetism. [Constance Guisset via Unplggd]

They are not just light sources, however. These LED towers also collect rainwater and funnel sunlight to the multiple levels of the 1-kilometer long Expo Boulevard. [World Architecture News via Inhabitat]

In other words, you could use duct tape to actually pimp something out as opposed to simply keeping it together. That must be what designer Keywon had in mind when he came up with a prototype called Sculpt-a-Light. By rolling the tape and connecting the ends, you complete the circuit. Of course, you would need a smaller and more effective power source before anything like this could actually be considered for the mass market, but it is an interesting idea nonetheless.

The reissued design originally debuted in 1972, and consists of a simple wire frame topped with a plastic dome (available in four colors!!). And if it weren't for the $1200 price tag, we might consider making one ours. (Ha! You thought this thing would be cheap? Since when is mass-producible metal and plastic cheap?) [The Lollipop Shoppe via Unplggd]

Somebody license this, please. Time to start churning them out of the factory. [Behance via Unplggd]

I love the worn metal, but at $2,400 I would need a much better reason than liking the look to justify filling my house with inadequate lighting. Plus, it looks like it's staring at me... [Product Page via LikeCool]

The appropriately titled "Sketch Lamp" is the brainchild of Ninna Kapadia and Hung-Ming Chen and, for the moment, it is still in the concept stage. Hopefully, that will change soon because light boxes are annoying, cumbersome beasts. [Ninna Kapadaia via DVICE]

Unfortunately for people named Quincy, Quinton or Quagmire, the Turn On lamp is only a concept at the moment. [Lana-savettiere via The Design Blog]

That is to say, he made a 3D printing of a dead firefly and crammed three LEDs inside. As bizarre as this is, a whole swarm of these would make for an interesting chandelier. [Design News Now via No Smarties via Boing Boing]

One press of this oversized key will illuminate your workspace, giving you an unprecedented tactile experience and level of control over your environment. If you happen to be a food addict that spends most of their day eating and crying in the dark, I suggest going with a lighting solution that is more your speed. [CTRL Light and Shift Light]

The Diamond Light is made of mirrors and a 20 watt LED. [Takada Design via Mocoloco]

While borrowing a friend's car for the day, I decided to have it washed to show my gratitude. I pulled into an automated carwash, and while inside, I couldn't help but notice how the carwash brushes completely alter their shape from flimsy drooping hair covered rods to massive powerful beams. Could this quality of transformation be applied to the home sector? Where would a transforming apparatus find use in the home?

The carwash brushes go from limp, to cones, to beams. A lamp could use this whimsical feature to direct light, from a tube of light to a cone, to an open light source. The contraption, with its spinning, would produce a rather considerable amount of wind. Ceiling fans have not changed in the slightest ever since their introduction. Apart from finishes and rotation speed, they have always remained rather dull.

I have to agree with that last point—anyone who has shopped for a ceiling fan probably knows that it takes a lot of searching to find something that's stylish and unique. However, I have to wonder whether or not Dervish would really be functional as a fan. [Phillipe Malouin via dornob]
