No, it's not some new Internet-based service that takes your photos, videos, and drunken napkin doodles and stores them online. Instead, Cloud is, well, a cloud — one that stays inside your house. Created by artist Richard Clarkson, this unusual work packs a series of color-changing lights, a powerful speaker system, and an Arduino inside its felted hypoallergenic fill and sponge body, letting you enjoy a "storm" every time you pass by, or anytime at all using the remote. But what's even better is the built-in Bluetooth, which means that when you're in the mood to jam, you can stream your music to it and enjoy great sound with light-based visualizations.
Add a touch of turn-of-the-century class to your space without needing turn-of-the-century technology with these Edison LED Light Bulbs. Thanks to warm color temps, each of the three bulbs — they're available in traditional round, teardrop, and G95 shapes — gives off all the atmosphere and ambiance of a real Edison-era bulb while using a smidgen of the power, making them a terrific blend of old and new.
It's rather counterintuitive that a light bulb would be designed around helping you sleep better, but that's the case with the Saffron Drift Light. Powered by high-efficiency LEDs, the Drift puts out warmer light than most bulbs — which is good for melatonin production — and mimics the natural sunset by slowly dimming over 37 minutes, providing a smooth transition to sleep. Need a little bit of light on? Not to worry, as it also has a Moonlight Mode that will keep you from taking up outlets with night lights.
