LED bulbs are a great way to save some power and be more green since they consume much less electricity than standard bulbs. They can also do more than conventional bulbs. Tabu Design makes the cool Lumen Bluetooth LED bulb that we reviewed just a few days ago.

A couple of months ago, the LIFX LED lightbulb debuted on Kickstarter, and it was only a couple of weeks ago when electronics giant Philips unveiled its Hue color changing LED light bulb. These light bulbs not only allow you to choose whatever color you want using a smartphone application, they also allow you to turn the light on or off at pre-set times, making for built-in home automation.

Have you ever wanted to control the lights with your smartphone? Now you can, thanks to LIFX Smartbulbs. There have been already some LED lightbulbs that could be controlled by a remote. Now, you can use an app to control the mood of your room – or your entire house – from the comfort of your phone.

I understand that changing your light bulbs in the home from the normal incandescent to more efficient CCFL or LED lights can save you a bunch of money. The problem I have always had with LED bulbs is that the color light tends to be weird and the bulbs are just so damn expensive.

Q: How many cops does it take to screw in a light bulb? A: None. It turns itself in. You’ve probably already heard your fair share of lightbulb jokes, so I won’t try to entertain (or bore) you with any more.

Priced at $59.95 (USD), this could be the most expensive lightbulb you’ll ever buy. But at least you’ll experience the thrill that Thomas Edison must have had when he creating his first working bulb. This science kit includes everything you need to make your own source of illumination – old school style.

No one really looks at lamps and bulbs; we just need them to see everything else. Designer Hironao Tsuboi is having none of that! He has guaranteed that you will stare at his creation, the lamp/lamp. As you can see, Tsuboi moved the real connecting wires and the screw cap to the head of the bulb but still retained its structure. 

Have you gone nutty yet over all of the USB crapgadgets that are coming out of Japan? I haven’t! Well, here are two more USB sticks that might tickle your fancy. Personally, I have one very plain 16GB USB flash drive that I use and a bunch of older sticks that I don’t use anymore.
