What is� in store for these used batteries and where you can take them to be recycled or safely treated and disposed? You should find a solution here with Energy Seed.

Battery recycling and reuse can have a positive impact towards our reduction of battery waste and pollution. So now its time to collect all the batteries that no longer power your digital cameras, baby toys and TV remotes, and deposit them in the base of this lamp. The lamp then glows, because even a mostly spent battery will be able to power an ultra-efficient light source. Recycling is processing of used materials into new ones to prevent the waste of potentially useful materials and bring down the usage of raw materials. By this we can reduce energy usage, pollution and gas emissions. Energy Seed concept by Sung woo Park is at its services in collecting all those spent batteries and recycling them.

The Rohm Co Ltd has taken the privilege to prototype OLED shadowless lamp and flash which is designed in a manner where it uses an OLED lighting device with a cover that intricately diffuses light in a complex manner so that the objects illuminated by the light have no shadow. The flash instantaneously emits light with a high luminance of 100,000cd/m2.And what’s amazing is when not used as a flash;� can be used as lighting equipment with a luminance of 3,000-4,000cd/m2 or higher.

Talking more about the features the OLED flash is composed of 40mm-square light emitting modules arranged in six rows and eight columns. The luminance of the flash can be controlled in a wide range, from dim to bright light of several thousand candelas per square meter at the maximum and flash emitted light with a luminance of 100,000cd/m2 three times.

Well, lamps are not your everyday gadgets, but then we just had to feature this lamp for it has taken the designer not only art and aesthetic sense but also a strange combination of meticulous technology and hi-tech design. Light baffles us the most and we still have not understood much about the process involved in the journey of light.

If you are a mad scientist, and I know that you are, then you need to style your mad lab in a décor that will suit the backdrop of scary abnormalities in eerie liquid filled tanks, screeching monkey-pigs and your hairy headless robot. Imagine a lamp that features in Life & Living sitting atop your table casting a warm glow on your unfinished monstrosities. How very uncool! This futuristic looking lamp, Stimuli 3.0, will add dark glamour to your lab.

The sphere-shaped lamp sitting on its short neck has several panels that surround the head and constantly adjust the light emanating from the lamp. This means that the light level in the room is kept constant, even with changes in natural external light conditions. Designed by Chris Natt, Stimuli 3.0 has a three axis gear box as its brain that controls the panels to shit and rotate to change the light output. Unfortunately, Mr. Mad Scientist, the lamp is still a concept. But now that I’ve given you the idea you might be able to make one in your lab and perhaps fix it as the head of your assistant.

I was about to wrap-up when I came across this cute and thoughtful environment friendly lamp. Environment friendly because it runs on Solar power and cute because it’s a treat to watch it glow and the tiny man in action.
This innovative and eco-friendly home accessory called the Bicycle Rider Lamps runs on Solar Power Apart from the lightening part that’s taken care by the solar energy, there’s something more that solar power does to this lamp. As and when the lamp gets exposed to sunlight, the cute little bicycle rider sitting inside starts pedalling making the lamp an object de’ art apart from being a chic utility gadget.
All you need to do to charge is to keep it in the sunlight and the solar panel will automatically turn towards the sun as it’s fitted on a rotatable base. In case it’s a cloudy day, the 40w lamp can work by connecting to a power source.
Must say…it’s a perfect combo of fun, intelligent design and eco-friendly concept!
