Christmas outdoor lighting can get out of control sometimes. Save a buck on your electricity bill and do something good for the nature with those solar powered Christmas lights.

Unlike standard outdoor holiday lights that must be tethered to an electric source, these solar powered lights can be strung anywhere in your yard. A small solar panel stakes into the ground up to 7′ away from the light strand and powers 102 bright LEDs for up to nine hours after an eight-hour charge. Seven different light patterns dance along the strand in succession, or you can select your favorite sequence to flash continuously or have the lights provide steady illumination with the touch of a button. The solar panel gathers moderate or direct sunlight during the daytime and automatically turns the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. The 32′ 9"-long strand provides enough slack to adorn trees, railings, or lampposts. The LEDs are rated for 10,000 hours of operation.

Ha ha .. funny video from your iPod straight to the classroom wall.

This is the pocket-sized device that projects a 60" image from an iPod, iPhone, or any video source with composite outputs. About the size of a candy bar, the unit projects bright, clear images and pivots up to 90º to display content on a wall or ceiling. The projector’s LED uses Digital Light Processing Technology–the same as digital cinema projectors–to produce sharp 480×320 resolution with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 3:2 aspect ratio.

It has a manual focus dial, adjustable volume control for its 1/2-watt internal speaker, and a headphone jack for private listening. The projector’s rechargeable battery provides two hours of viewing time after a three-hour charge from the included AC adapter, or from a computer with the included USB cable.

I spent way too much time in front of the computer and towards the end of the day my eyes feel try and tired and even though I want to blog some more my eyes won’t let me. Need those glasses to maximize blogging.

You see, high-efficiency fluorescent lighting and computer monitors in our offices are highly shifted towards the blue-end of the spectrum. The problem is, blue light focuses differently on the retina than the rest of the spectrum. Ever look at a blue LED and noticed a halo around the light? Staring at it gives you a headache, doesn’t it? Guess why! Your eyes are straining to try and bring that fuzzy spot into focus, and it just can’t!

What you need is a way to filter out some of those blues that give your eyes so much trouble. Our new Gunnar Computer Glasses shift that light to the warmer end of the spectrum, giving your tired eyes a chance to recover. Not only do they filter blue light, they’re also polarized, reducing glare and helping with eye strain even more.

Coolest thing since the invention of TV! Hours of self animated images fun time.

This LED kit creates a moving picture from a set of four that your draw yourself. It animates them by projecting them alternately on the front screen using backlit LEDs. This kind of gift nurtures a child’s creativity and teaches them about basic scientific principles at the same time! Check out the following video for a demo:

This post is for Matt and for me to cool down – slap in the face* No mo kinky stuff for a while!

Add some sci-fi class to your G and T with the Colour Changing Lite Cubes. Pop them in the freezer and then turn them on to make a drink fit for any extra terrestrial who fancies a mojito. The cubes are filled with a special freezing gel and a battery powered LED provides the in-glass lightshow.

They’re sold in a pack of three and can be used again and again, but try not to party too hearty – the battery only lasts twelve hours if on continuously, but you can keep on refreezing them as many times as you want. You can have them light up in a single colour or scroll through all six. They’re just the thing for brightening up your party.
