When I first saw this this I thought it was kind of naff, but depending on how it’s used it could be pretty cool.
The multi-color LED bulb fits into any regular lightbulb socket but instead of just emitting super bright LED light you can change it’s color via the included remote. The bulb also offers various transition effects (flash, strobe, fade and smooth) and you can adjust the brightness level (not something you normally see with LED bulbs).
I think it would be pretty cool for the holiday season, it’s a shame it was a bit too late for Halloween. You can buy the multi-color LED lightbulb from TG for $49.99.
The TeleMax III device combines the idea of a universal TV remote control and a hands free phone that targets living rooms in homes all over the world. The final product would come in a sleek, compact, and easy to use package, featuring a virtually unbreakable body (which works great especially in homes that have little kids who seem to have a penchant of destroying just about every single fragile item in your house) that is tough against accidental spills as well. The TeleMax III is shaped like a small tray, complete with handles on both sides that give you an easy grip as you go about pressing all the individual buttons contained on it. Your comfort is not compromised as it was designed to be ergonomic in nature.
Chloe Fung has designed a remote control that females will definitely be able to identify with, since it is meant to be worn like a bracelet instead of the standard ultra-rectangular format that we are so used to seeing. While this form factor makes it harder to lose the remote, surely you can’t cram in as many buttons as you would like, so having basic controls on board will have to suffice for the moment. No idea if this will actually enter production, but there seems to be a greater demand for more gender-oriented peripherals these days than ever before.
The Lilly House is one interesting concept as it will be able to bloom in the same manner as a flower within 90 seconds. That’s pretty innovative, and I’d assume it will be able to close up within the same time frame as well. Best to equip this house with some sort of weather predicting device so that it can close before your expensive furniture gets wet.
With the push of a button, the house opens in 90 seconds like a flower and transforms from a compact container into a fully furnished and functional space with a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, living room and library. All materials used in the Biennale house were recyclable or recycled.
If you’re interested in checking the Lilly House out, it will be located in Columbus Circle (NYC) from November 28 to December 29.
Ever gone off to the woods for a week and forgotten to bring a shaver with you? Chances are when you’re back home, your wife will probably think there’s a grizzly bear knocking on her front door, wearing her husband’s clothes instead. The Sol Shaver Solar Razor is the tool for you then, since it can be powered by the sun while offering a traditional electric razor cut. If you’re interested in picking one up, be prepared to fork out $61 for it.

The Miscea Sensor Activated Faucet is no ordinary sensor-activated faucet - it boast the ability to dispense both soap as well as a choice of disinfectant or lotion, all without touching the faucet. Constructed from high quality stainless steel and coming in an elegant design, chances are you’ll go wash your hands more frequently within a week than you’ve ever done in your entire lifetime just to see the faucet head’s LED lighting function whenever you point your hand to the control sensors. You even use motion control to adjust the water temperature, simply by bringing your hand to the plus or minus signs. This hygienic and convenient touch free interface will definitely go down well with folks who are paranoid about dirty faucets. No idea on how much it costs, but cheap definitely ain’t the adjective I’m looking at.

You never know who might just be crazy or desperate enough to break into your home these days with the number of crazy folks running outside, which makes the “Back Up” idea all the more attractive. This simple gun rack fits right under your bed mattress, giving you unprecedented access to your shotgun at night. It retails for $39.95 which makes it all the more affordable to virtually everyone who owns a shotgun, but unfortunately I wouldn’t want to have this in my home unless I keep the bedroom door locked at all times just in case curious children wonder what a shotgun is doing under my bed while playing Hide-and-Seek.
