  • haha, did you know that in the netherlands we call lightbulbs 'peertjes'? That's the Dutch word for Pear!!
  • Why a tree? It'll cost alot less just to have a recharge box or sumthin. I dont want an ugly metal tree sitting in the corner of my room
  • Well, I don't think it is ugly. You obviously wouldn't buy this if you don't like the art behind it. Buy a flashlight and don't bother to tell us what YOU find ugly.
  • It's not just a tree, it's also a hatrack.
  • I'd rather have the tree than a bland, ugly recharge box.


    How many pears can you put on the?
  • Endelig får vi ordentlige pærer!

    It's called "pears" in Danish too.
  • This is definately an art piece not just a piece of technology, but it does have a practical side (kind-of). I like it but to be honest, I doubt it would be practical for most people to buy an expensive artist flashlight. This is definately an item for a very specific market.
    I could build something similar to this from ~$30-45 worth of parts (but I bet it would cost alot more to buy) so I would build mine, but I do like the unique design of it. I definately find it interesting.
  • Its the looks that I find most appealing. It is very cool and indeed would be a modern tech-geek atmosphere enhancement. If you don't like it then you should stick to something with a bit less class that your right brain can comprehend.

    I want one of these. How much do they cost? Where do you get them? Do they take credit cards?

  • This is the most original and coolest things that I've seen in a while.
    Where can I get one?
  • Where can I get it? I want one of these. How much do they cost? Where do you get them? Lead me in the direction of the pear lights!
  • thats really cool, i wanna know how to get my hands on one of those things. I know my mom would just love it for her garden
  • Why do people insist on saying "after the jump"? What jump? The pics are right there.
  • You see the pictures right away because you came to this page via a link which took you directly to "after the jump". If you were on the main page, you wouldn't see the pictures until you clicked on the "more" link.
  • As for the tree, it really doesn't seem very practical. But if you're into art, it would probably be worth getting
  • Price? Link to retail outlet? I want one!
  • wtf?

    How on EARTH does this work. Its real cool and all, but this is weird. Far out!
  • So it's a really big electromagnet that draws a ton of energy to recharge LED bulbs with really small, really shortlived internal batteries. The right brain person is confused. I'll take Andrea's ugly box with better bulbs.
  • Im moving into a new place today, i NEED this. It's awesome and sort of sinister looking. how much? where can i buy one?
