Sticky Lamps by Chris Kabel

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving holiday. I know I ate my fill and am still recuperating - very much looking forward to a relaxing weekend. In an effort to keep it light, I found this cool "Sticky Lamp" on Yanko Design. Designed by Chris Kabel, the Sticky Lamp is essentially a light bulb in a socket, self-contained in a plastic case with an adhesive ring around the edge.

The socket connects to an extension cord with a clicker. The light makes total use of it's plastic packaging, turning it into part of the fixture. Stick it on your windows for a cool effect, or on your walls, ceilings - wherever! The packaging does open, allowing you to change the bulb. It appears that these lights are only conceptual at present, but they seem perfectly viable for the retail market, don't you think? While I'm never a fan of a dangling cord, there's something about these lights that are cartoonish and fun. Lights out until next time! - Via Yanko Design

I think they would look really fun on a mirror. But then again, I'd buy anything cool and eco friendly that stands still long enough... I can see that your label "eco friendly" has got a healthy number of posts, btw =)
Have a great weekend Jamie!

Hi Trudi! Thanks for the comment! Yeah, these would look nice on a mirror. I put the eco-friendly tag on because they are self-contained in their own package...I also think they use LED lights :-)

Have a great weekend!
