The Eye Dot Me Light – it’s watching you
Lights are usually meant to illuminate and not much else, however, this light seems to take things a couple steps further. It hangs far above your head, spotlighting where you sit. All the while if you peer above you’ll notice the alarming resemblance to an eye. Giving you that feeling that someone or something is staring down at you from above. Play an hour too many of Portal and you’re going to be cowering under your desk, wondering how GLaDOS made it into your house. Then having the horrifying thought that you’ll never make it to the cake in the kitchen.
This light is a part of the 2009 DMY Berlin Design Festival and was created by Simon Schiessl and Felix Hardwood. It’s, as you can see, powered by a whole lot of high-powered LED lights. Technically, what you would think is a lamp is pretty much just a massive bulb. You take a regular pendant light fixture and screw it in like you would a normal light bulb. They did actually create this light and not just create something pretty in Photoshop. However, it’s not quite to the retail point yet.

The Eye Dot Me is watching you Says: June 16, 2009 at 6:33 am
[...] Published by Maria Mihale, on Jun 16 2009, in the categories: Gadgets Some would say that a light is just a light and we shouldn’t give one too much of importance, because what a light should do is to… well… bring some light in your life, when there isn’t such thing. Ok, when the sun goes down and there’s no other way to see things and you don’t want to stumble over your couch when trying to go for a glass of water. But some people are interested in having a stylish light, one to perfectly suit the overall design of a room. In this case, you shouldn’t be surprised that the designers of the Eye Dot Me Light have tried to take things a little bit further. Created by Simon Schiessl and Felix Hardwood, the device is part of the 2009 edition of the DMY Berlin Design Festival. It looks like an eye which is watching you all day long from above, giving you the strange feeling that every step that you make is closely followed. The source of power is represented by many high-powered LED lights which create the impression of an iris well hidden inside the lamp. As usual, these concepts are not all to become reality, so the designers should be patient up until the moment someone decides to hit this thing to the mass production.
