The Blood Lamp

The Blood Lamp only works once, and you need to add of a drop of your blood to activate it! The idea is to stop and think about how badly you need light before you use it. Designer Mike Thompson created the lamp in order to draw attention to how much energy we waste. http://www.miket.co.uk/blood_lamp.html -via Dark Roasted Blend

Um. And how much energy did he use to create this? As a diabetic, I'm monumentally unimpressed with the "significance" of having to add a drop of blood. :)

It's the same substance used to find hidden blood on shows like CSI. It's called Luminol and you can use a variety of agents to activate it, not just blood.
