LIFX Wi-Fi Enabled LED Bulb
• $79.00
• LIFX Store

Funny how in cartoons a bulb over a character's head represents a good idea when incandescent bulbs are pretty dumb and outdated. But LED technology has opened a whole new realm in home lighting. Example: LIFX is a wi-fi enabled, multi-temperature LED smart bulb controllable via smartphone app, providing 900 lumens of RGB-W light. Don't like how the bulb looks out of the box? No problem, the LIFX permits adjustment control of lumens, color temperature, and range for anyone with an iOS 5 + or Android 2.2 + device. Now that's a good idea.

To turn a "splurge" into a huge "save," you have to be a little lucky. Finding the right vintage elements to repurpose for DIY projects is a tough challenge, to be sure. But if you're in the right place — Craigslist — at the right time — constantly — you just might make a huge score. More

Many renters (and equally, non-renters) face the all-too-common problem of having to cram a whole lot of living into, well, not a whole lot of space. We have dual and sometimes multi-purpose rooms: living, eating, working, and maybe even sleeping within one open-plan space. And since our homes are becoming more and more open-plan, most of us are likely to have to deal with this issue at some point, even if  we're not currently living in lofts or studios.

My daughter has developed a bad habit, but it's something that I hear is very common at this age. She needs to leave a light on in her room all night long. It's just too scary in the dark. With Spring ideas sprouting everywhere, I couldn't help but look for a new bunny lamp - I know she'd love one.

The Spot light was the result of a collaborative effort between two industrial design programs from the National University of Singapore's Division of Industrial Design (NUSDID) and Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle (ENSCI – Les Ateliers). What designers Gloria Ngiam, Nigel Geh, and Guillaume Bloget came up with is an extremely versatile LED light which transforms from a task light, into a flashlight, into an easy-to-hang wall light at the flip of it's handle.
