Bulbcap covers your naked light bulbs

If you have a boring bulb hanging on a wire in your closet or anywhere else in your home you might try one of these little shades.  They are just a simple little cap you slip onto the bulb itself.  It kind of makes me wish I had a random bulb hanging from the ceiling.  However, I have those normal covered lights that already have a glass cover to go with them.  There is a down side to these brightly colored lampshades though.  Using a regular bulb it shouldn’t be used with anything over 40 watts, which isn’t very bright.  There is a little good news though, it has no limit on the economical bulbs.

One cool thing is that after you turn off the light the lampshade will glow a green/yellow tone for a short while after the light has been turned off.  Which might be nice for younger kids as they are falling asleep, just depending on how brightly it glows and how long it will last.  It is made out of a heat resistant silicon rubber and comes in green, luminescent, orange, red, turquoise and lilac.  The caps will be sold for $20 a piece, which does seem a little steep for a cap you slap on your bare light bulb.  Either way though, it is a cool little idea.
