My Favorite: Corona Solar Light, an outdoor lighting solution that combines a photovoltaic cell, LEDs, and sunflower-esque form to bring a lovely solar-powered glow to your outdoor spaces. The self powered Corona Lamp can be used indoors and out - attached to a wall, staked and “planted” like a flower, or just placed on a tabletop- all without glues or fasteners. Winaya check out the 'Energy orb' basic but conceptually sound

and Kurt.. some stuff for you too
Lunar resonant Lights
We’ve seen tons of lighting projects that harness the sun’s energy, but none that respond to the other, oft-overlooked light source that graces our sky the other 12 hours of the day (or night, as the case may be). Civil Twilight Collective’s amazing Lunar Resonant Streetlight system is so ingenious that it was just named the grand prize winner of Metropolis’ Next Generation 2007 contest, which crowns one forward-thinking project as the most promising and innovative new idea (this year the competition focused on energy). The high-tech streetlight has an embedded ultra-sensitive photocell that responds to the changing brightness of moonlight, turning on and dimming as appropriate, cutting down on unnecessary light pollution while making evening strolls down Main Street more pleasant and energy-efficient.

Mayuko and Julian if you would like to revisit your recycled lamp check out the Recycled cascade bottle chandelier on the same blog.. Also Mayuko- the DIY lamp

Pip: I quote 'Clive Thompson Thinks: Desktop Orb Could Reform Energy Hogs'
Here's an even wilder idea: How about making our energy use visible to everyone? Imagine if your daily consumption were part of your Facebook page — and broadcast to your friends by RSS feed. That would trigger what Ambient Devices CEO David Rose calls the sentinel effect: You'd work harder to conserve so you don't look like a jackass in front of your peers.
