Fiat Lux
Fiat Lux is a lamp with a switch that hovers underneath -no strings attached! The ball-shaped switch is magnetic, and rests on the lamp when not in use. When you approach the lamp, it turns itself on. Then you “hang” the switch underneath, where it levitates by magnetic force. Move the switch to turn the lamp off. Designed by Constance Guisset and Grégory Cid. Link -via Metafilter

Carbon Fiber Lamp
Photo: Marcus Tremonto
Designer Marcus Tremonto created a lamp made out of carbon fiber. He selected this material for the Carbon 451 Lamp because it is strong enough to support its own weight but thin enough to present the aesthetic qualities Tremonto wanted:
When asked by art gallery owner Patrick Brillet to design a piece out of Carbon Fiber, we decided to celebrate and utilize the best of the materials true physical properties, its strength and lightness. The complexity of curves and required thinness could not be duplicated in any other material while still maintaining its ability to support itself completely[...]

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. Link -via Dark Roasted Blend

Spray Paint Can Lamp
Your spray can empty after a hard night graffitying? Don’t toss the can! Remember the environment, and recycle it into something cool.
That’s what artist Jake Rankin of Portland, Oregon, does: he takes spent Krylon cans and turn it into a lamp. Best yet, the on/off switch is the paint nozzle.
(No words on whether you get the faint smell of fumes whenever you turn it on). Breeze Block Gallery has ‘em for $60: Link – via Coolbuzz

Solar Blinds
Designed by Yoon-Hui Kim and Eun-Kyung Kim, the Solar Vertical Lamp takes a typical vertical blind and outfits it with special mini photovoltaic and LED pixels to create a new form of interior lighting.
By day the mini solar cells absorb energy from sunlight. However, at night "artfully placed lighting pixels (similar to those used on billboards) illuminate" to create a sustainable lighting system.

X-Ray Lamps
Got an old X-ray film from a medical visit laying around your house gathering dust?
You can make something fun out of it, just like what Sture Pallarp, Elin Hedlund and Emmelie Karlström of the Beckmans College of Design did.
They took X-ray films and turn them into beautiful lamps!

There are instructions to create your own, but honestly… it looks pretty hard. Maybe it’s not if you have all of the right tools, though. Difficult to make or not, dude deserves props for ingenuity.

Moonlight Glowing Orb Light
Moonlights are wonderful glowing orbs (or half-orbs) that give off a gentle glow of light, just like its namesake. They are made from polyethylene spheres 13 to 30 inches (33 to about 75 cm) in diameter and can be used indoors and outdoors (or even floating in a pool).
Moonlights aren’t cheap, though – an orb can set you back anywhere from $325 to $1000 – but unlike the Moon, they are guaranteed to illuminate even if the sky is cloudy: Link – via Fortune Small Business | More pics at DVICE – via musecrack
