<p>The Rayzer automotive auxiliary light from Visualeyes will increase visibility at night by a factor of 300% compared to conventional auxiliary lamps.</p>
<p><span id="more-1018"></span></p>
<p>In contrast to conventional auxiliary lights, Rayzer is positioned inside the car. The combination of the positioning, the HID (Xenon) lighting technology and the design sets it apart from anything else in the global market.</p>
<p>Rayzer solves a long list of problems associated with traditional auxiliary lights, such as theft, poor light quality, damage from stones and parking accidents.</p>
<p>The positioning at or above the driver’s line of vision, produces better illumination. Plus, the fact that Rayzer will not disturb your car’s appearance and aerodynamics.</p>
<p>The product is soon available through select distributors as well as from the <a href="http://www.visualeyes.se/">company’s website</a>. No word on pricing yet.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s a fun and power saving way of adding some extra light using hand-cast resin LED bricks that can be connected in a variety of configurations.</p>
<p><span id="more-970"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
Each brick has four connectors that let you link up to another brick either inline or offset, and twisted 90 degrees. Each package contains four bricks, but you can link as many as twenty-four of them into a single chain of high-fashion lighting.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Here&#8217;s a video demonstration of these Brooklyn designed lights:</p>
<p><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S50ZlyWMpW4&#038;rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S50ZlyWMpW4&#038;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object></p>
<p>Each <a href="http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/lights/9e36/">TwistaLamp</a> ($99.99) package contains four modular resin lamps and includes a switching power adapter that accepts 100v to 240v.</p>

<p>The California based Greenlight Concepts company creates retro-modern lighting fixtures using glass lenses recycled from discarded traffic lights.</p>
<p><span id="more-634"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
Across the United States, giant truckloads of red, yellow, and green lenses are tossed into land-fills as cities upgrade to more efficient lighting technology. We&#8217;re reclaiming these glass artifacts to create &#8220;Stoplights,&#8221; our new line of lighting fixtures.</p>
<p>The recycled traffic lamps, is a prototype designed by a San Francisco based designer Daniel Krivens and colleague Nicholas Lee. The conventional lighting finds a replacement with the highly efficient LED technology killing the beast – the model taps into the waste stream (heaves of colored glass debris finding landfills across the U.S.) to give ‘Intimidating Red’, ‘Yielding Yellow’ and ‘Go Green’ an entirely novel definition.
</p></blockquote>
<p>The <a href="http://www.greenlightconcepts.com/">Greenlight Concepts</a> traffic light lamps are priced from $90 up to $299.</p>
