LED Art Fan by Ami Kealoha
Much like the 3-D display in our latest video, this LED art fan displays moving images on a rotating blade in 2-D. We've seen similar versions before, but this makes strides with color and programmability.
With 42 LEDs mounted on the blades the LED art fan spins and flickers to create beautiful images. Holding up to 128 individual pictures in its built-in memory, the LED art fan displays animated gif files in an 85 diameter pixel resolution while circulating the air and lowering room temperature. Although it only works with a PC, the fan is classically designed in chrome art deco style and is programmable with the included IR transmitter. Available for $400 from ThinkGeek.

theAnemix Home Collection
A year after their spectacular window installations merging light with motion at Harrod's, Chilean 3-D lighting design company Luxia just announced their new theAnemix Home Collection for those who want the same tech effects to play with in domestic spaces. The spacey, futuristic furniture might look straight out of a Star Trek episode, but the pieces—a book case, CD rack, night stand, a lamp—are meant...

Spoke POV Kit: Custom Bike Wheel Lights
While the Pac-Man themed version of this mobile LED light show is pretty genius, the programmable kit allows for any number of other clever combos or other bitmapped images for animated self-expression on wheels. Adding safety to boot, the DIY project is not for the tech-challenged, requiring basic programming and soldering skills to create the custom images for either regular size or smaller wheels....

Frankie Table Lamp
Brazilian designer Fernando Akasaka continues to impress, this time with Frankie, a skull-shaped table lamp with eyes that emits piercing light beams. Using luxe materials like those in his recent and fun Cowboy Junkie saddle stool, the 11-pound light features interchangeable, colored LED or halogen bulbs. Because these options are different wattage power, customers can control the degree of fierceness they'd like for their...

GE OLED Light Printer
It might be time to rethink that new floor lamp you're considering. If GE's latest invention (a new form of OLEDs or organic light-emitting diodes) lives up to its claims, incandescent bulbs will start to be a thing of the past as early as 2010. Which is a forward-thinking move on GE's part considering the impending ban on traditional bulbs. In their place, GE's...

Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier with Humidfier
After using Sharp's combination air purifier/humidifier, the Plasmacluster, for a couple months now, we're fans (no pun intended). While it's a little on the larger side for a tiny Manhattan apartment, with a true HEPA filter, a state-of-the-art ionization system and some choice extra features, we think it's worth it.Using technology that automatically senses the air quality and adjusts fans, humidification and the degree...
