Bicygnals

Bicygnals
For those bike users you now have a safer way to let traffic know you want to turn. The normal way to turn on a bike is to extend one of your arms (in effect, halving your control of the bike) and hope that drivers actually see you. Bicygnals are a great way to keep full control of your bike and let drivers know where you wish to go. To activate the turning signal you just flick your thumb on a switch and all is well. The bicygnals clip on to your handlebars and can quickly be removed when your bike is locked up on the street. The great feature about the bicygnals is that they are wireless. The thumb switch does not have any wires connecting it to the back or the front indicators.

Other features include

* Wireless indicators and lights for your bike.
* Lights are detachable and magnetic, slotting together into a compact carry case when not in use.
* Super-bright LED indicator lights at front and rear.
* Front switches control rear indicators wirelessly.
* Rear indicators are curved for side visibility.
* Integrated front and rear reflectors and LED rear and headlights.
* An option to have the rear and headlight on full beam or a flashing mode.
* Low battery indicator.
* Ergonomic and adjustable front and rear clamps.
* Complies with Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations.
* Requires 4 x AA Batteries (included) and 4 x AAA Batteries (included).
* Size: 32 x 9 x 3cm (in bag).

Not a bad set up at all if you ask me. The Bicygnals cost £39.95 over at IWOOT and are available in the US and UK.

Bowling Pin Lamps

bowling-lamps
For those who love bowling comes the perfect way to light your room. These bowling pin lamps provide soft light while standing up. The cool feature is how you switch them off. You need to knock them over which triggers the on/off switch. Just be careful not to launch a full bowling ball at them though as I am sure they wont be that strong.

Each pin costs $21.95.

Tube Lamp
This Tube Lamp is designed as a tribute to high end audio amplifiers. It uses a series of 9 tubes with fairly low watt (25W) lamps inside. The tubes are built of glass and slightly glow when switched on. The tubes are encased in a bakelite black box and it has a toggle switch, mirror top and dimmer knob.

Currently they are out of stock but there are a few other places you might be able to pick one up from.

600 hours of light from the LED battery Lamp - Impressive

The LED battery lamp is powered by a D Cell battery and can power the LED bulb for 600 hours. It costs just 14.95 GBP and comes with a lampshade on top and a tiny pull chain to switch it off. The lamp clips on to the top of a 1.5 V battery and once there you will only need to replace it after 600 hours which could be every 3 to 4 months if you were to use it for 5 hours a day. With the light source being LED you also get a nice bright glow to it.

The battery is supplied and you can pick one up from Crazy About Gadgets.
