Eternaleds today introduced their new Hydrolux-4 LED lightbulb, which is the first LED bulb in the world to use liquid-cooling technology to give true 360 degree light like a regular light bulb. The Hydrolux-4 can lower your monthly electricity bill since it only consumes 4-Watts of electricity. Each lightbulb is rated for 35,000 hours of use, meanwhile the liquid inside is harmless paraffin oil that has been tested and certified safe to UL and ROHS standards. The Hydrolux-4 LED lightbulb is currently available in “warm white” and “daylight” flavors. Video after the jump.

The 5.11 shines at 90 lumens for 90 minutes per charge—and the manufacturers claim that it is rated for 50,000 recharges (or once per day for the next 135 years). In other words, the flashlight is rugged and produces a bright light for a practical amount of time. But the best part is that recharging only takes 90 seconds thanks to its fancy ultracapacitor energy storage system. It even has a backup 12V DC automotive charger in case the power goes out. If it works as advertised, could very well be the last flashlight you will ever need (or, at least for the 10 year maintenance-free window). Whether it will pay for its $170 price tag in battery savings over that time remains to be seen

At the Euroluce International Lighting Fair in Milan, Philips is showing world’s first OLED lighting concepts that involves human interaction. The lights are suited for both professional as well as consumer use and feature ultra flat shape and soft light effects.

Philips has created different OLED lighting concepts like standing, wall-mounted, desk-top or ceiling luminaires that use different types of interaction. The ceiling lighting, for instance, can be brightened or dimmed with a wave of the hand. Another concept shows an OLED wall that reacts to passers-by and creates a mirrored reflection of the shadows amid the lit wall making it like a glowing mirror.

The I-Slate device looks like some kind of touchscreen-capable digital photo frame, but in reality it is a stylus-controlled classroom aid that draws power from the sun thanks to the inclusion of solar panels. Unveiled at the IEEE's 125th Anniversary event on Tuesday, this LED slate aims to replace chalk slates that are being used across the world today, enabling students to learn new math skills without requiring a literate teacher around. Dr. Krishna Palem and his team at Rice University are currently working on the final iteration of the I-Slate, where it will use a "probabilistic" computer processor that makes tiny trade offs in performance in order to reap immense energy savings. Coursework can be downloaded wirelessly, while these chips will be dirt-cheap to produce compared to today's high-powered processors, making the I-Slate suitable for third world environments.

Дизайнера Ross Lovegrove се съюзява с Artemide и Sharp Solar, за да освети улиците пред музея на приложните изкуства във Виена. Принципа е че дърветата ще събират ел. енергия чрез соларни панели, а вечер тя ще се насочва към уличното осветление. Първото включване на дърветата ще е на 8 октомври.

The Scimitar is a boomerang fitted with LED lights, designed by toy loving Eric Darnell. Although it's not the traditional boomerang shape, it's still pretty cool. And it makes for neat pictures if you leave the shutter open long enough. They're easy to throw, but freaking near impossible to have come back.

Добре дошли на нощното ни парти
