One of the more interesting products revealed at CES 2010 came from home speaker manufacturer, Klipsch, who won the 2010 CES Innovations Award with their Klipsch LightSpeaker. The unit replaces a standard Edison socket, such as a 5- 6" recessed can lighting common in many modern household, with an integrated 2.4GHz wireless speaker and LED lighting combo. The transmitter works with media players such as a television, mp3 player or laptop, broadcasting audio to up to 8 installed speakers with nary an additional wire installed.
The Klipsch LightSpeaker System Architectural Speaker includes two LightSpeakers, a transmitter, and remote for $599.99.

I know it was just done for effect but ... high heels on a ladder?!!
I was thinking the same exact thing when I saw the photo Khürt.
Oh, don't worry - she was in no way actually on a ladder for the photo (I don't think her bust is really that shape either...).
Regarding the product, I wonder how good they sound if they are "not intended to replace home theater speakers?"
This is a hilarious photo.
