Light from Light

Jessie Atkin posted a new blog on Digital Landing. Read about solar powered desk lamps for the eco-friendly.

Lets save the planet one all nighter college student at a time.

Ikea has just released solar cell powered desk lamps. With LED bulbs that lamps also claim to use 70% less energy than regular light bulbs (they also supposedly last 4 times as long, so there’s a little cash saved as well). Everything’s all alternative energy these days but it makes much more sense to feed the masses with smaller steps. Reworking the home office makes more immediate sense to people than rewiring the house with solar panels on the roof. They come in five colors and are priced at a very economy conscious $19.99.

I like the idea, it can’t hurt plug/wire clutter even if you don’t care about the planet (think of all the extra counter space) you just better keep your desk by a window.
