Lightbulbs

Smart LED lightbulbs typically let you change their color. Some provide more advanced functionality, like simple automation. The new Ilumi smartbulb, however, has a host of features that make it far more versatile than others. It's also said to be brighter and more energy-efficient.

A start-up called Saffron has developed the prototype of a LED light that can sync our internal clock to the natural shifting color spectrum of the sun. The designers claim that Silk can improve our humor and sleep patterns by giving us get the right kind of light for the each time of the day.

A team of scientists and engineers have used graphene just one atom thick mounted on a microchip, to create what they claim is the world's thinnest incandescent light-bulb

Eighteen year-old engineering student Chris Rieger has spent the last six months building his LevLight system, where an LED light module floats in mid-air while wirelessly receiving its power from a coil hidden inside a wooden box.

At a time when the incandescent bulb is itself being replaced by newer lighting technology, Industrial designer Sergio Silva has sent the bulbs back in time by turning reclaimed light bulbs into an oil lamp dubbed the Oyule.
