Not sure on the cost or feasibility, but conceptually at least lunar-resonant street lighting seems like it would be a good idea. When the moon is shining at its brightest, it would make logical sense that less artificial lighting would be required to produce the same amount of total light. Right now this idea appears to be just a concept for now, but its still interesting to ponder the concept. |

As a followup to the War Planes Collection we have the Kitty Hawk ceiling fan from Emerson. Rather then emulate the nose and propeller of a plane, Emerson has chosen to emulate the bi-wing design of the Wright Brothers original plane. Besides the fancy blade design, a 52″ blade span and a “Deluxe Emerson K55XL motor”, the Kitty Hawk has most of the normal fan features like three speeds, reversible direction and a light fixture. You can get the Kitty Hawk ceiling fan in a maple finish from Hansen Wholesale for $638 or you can get cherry wings from CeilingFansontheWeb.com for $679. |

Using traditional tweezers especially to remove splinters definitely requires copious amounts of lighting to ensure successful removal. So I can see the motivation for a pair of tweezers that have the necessary lighting already built in. Still, the $25 that Hammacher Schlemmer is charging for the pictured tweezers to the left seems a bit pricey. It does seem that they are a little unwieldy as far as tweezers go given they are almost 5″ long and over 1″ wide. There are other illuminated tweezers on the market such as La Tweez which sells for $12 or Avon’s Light It Up! Slanted Tweezer which they sell for $10.T |

Continuing from yesterday’s Cat Light, we have Lucky the Dachshund Accent Lamp. This lamp comprises a textured amber glass torso with antiqued brass finish on the head and hindquarters. The lamp is powered by a 74″ cord with an in line switch. Neither the picture or the details note where the cord is attached to the lamp preventing me from further buttressing my plug in arse pet lamp theory. Oh well. Lucky the Dachshund Accent Lamp is available from What on Earth for $50. What on Earth has a wide variety of similar accent lamps ranging from a $10 Firefly Accent Lamp to the $100 Stained Glass Dragon Accent Lamp which also includes a panda, bull skull and a flamingo. I did not realize that bronze and amber animal lighting was in such high demand. |

The Lighthouse Shop is the latest to make a product in the shape of a household pet, in this case a light, and jam a cord where its arse would be and market it. The Cat Light is said to measure 370cm x 313 x 85 which seems rather large considering that it is illuminated by a single 40W lamp. It is constructed out of a flame retardant plastic and when lit, the skeleton of a fish shows like an x-ray. The Cat Light is available in orange and yellow with a white version presently out of stock with a cost of $102. The Lighthouse Shop also makes a Dog Light in green, pink and white for the same price as the cat light and a Sheep Light in plain and “pringle” for $61. |
