continuing from my last project with the concept of the unexpected, these lights, by iris design studio, are super:
this one caught my eye, considering I thought throwing a light bulb and a 9v battery in a bowl of salt water would work. apparently this light bulb is just used as a shading device, and there is actually a halogen bulb or something like that inside it. the incandescent bulb is cut in half and mounted in a resin bed, and its reflection makes it look whole.
these presumably work in the same way, halogen bulbs inside; it mostly just looks neat. although i wouldn't really want an unshaded lamp.

that was supposed to be a paperweight? i thought it was a real light source, which is why i was totally disappointed when it was just glow-in-the-dark.
