I’ve come across a few interesting products that light up dark corners where you are looking (like these reading glasses and this clip-on for baseball caps). Here in the Home Trends catalog is another example.
I like the elegance of the reading glasses better, personally. But these could be very handy, too.

Here’s something that will go on my Christmas list: reading glasses that have LED lights built in! I saw them in the Herrington Catalogue this morning, and found them on the Herrington site.
I documented the evolution of booklights in an early post on this blog, as well as lights to clip to your baseball cap.
These glasses are a great example of one of the points I made in those posts: LEDs allow innovative new design for lights that will result in dramatic new products.
Maybe if I’m really nice to my wife, I won’t have to wait until Christmas….

I’ve commented in the past about how LED lighting is not just about efficiency, but will create new possibilities in lighting. I came across this post on InventorSpot blog that has pictures of a design home that explores these possibilities. Some fascinating effects — check it out!

I’ve been noticing products including LEDs in more and more catalogs. Particularly given that LEDs are making their market entry in niche applications, catalogues are the perfect place for them to make their debut: different catalogues have LED light products for around your patio, holiday decorations, reading lights, lights for closets, cabinets, etc. Here are a few of my favorite sources:

Over the past few months, I have been snapping pictures of various products on the shelves at Home Depot, my local grocery, and my local hardware store. To give you a sense of how many LED-based products are out there now, I have assembled this gallery, with a range from the downright silly to the highly practical.

All Things Considered on NPR had a story today about the puppet used in the 1964 animated Christmas special, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. The story interviews the puppeteer who found Rudolph and restored him. His original light bulb nose was lost long ago so the puppeteer replaced it with an LED.
Isn’t progress great!
