    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
  • Gusto · 2 years ago
    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?

    Why do people insist on saying "after the jump"? What jump? The pics are right there.
  • squiggy the beast master · 2 years ago
    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
  • HonoredMule · 2 years ago
    Price? Link to retail outlet? I want one!
  • J Devon m · 2 years ago
    wtf?

    How on EARTH does this work. Its real cool and all, but this is weird. Far out!
  • Rick · 2 years ago
    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.
