Light Fruit by Tim Yu
Last time we checked money still doesn't grow on trees, but now lights do. Designed by Nick Foley, this hand-forged hollow steel tree bears three removable pear-shaped lights that are held on with a rare earth magnet. An integrated circuit charges the 10 LEDs inside each pear for portable use. After harvesting, the lights provide over an hour of itinerant light. No word yet on pricing.

Solatube
Solatube improves on the idea of using solar power for lighting, but unlike often outdated and ineffectual skylights, Solatube has the ability to light interiors not directly connected to the outdoors. That means that your dark closets, dimly lit bathrooms, windowless room, or basement apartments are capable of receiving natural light. This is accomplished by sunlight being transported through a highly reflective tube into...
