Refined Wood Meets Steampunk Meets Geeky-Nerdy Lamp

alampI really dig this simple, yet refined lamp design by Erol Chandler. The simple triangle shaped lamp, made of hand-finished eastern walnut hardwood, features small Edison-style teardrop bulb suspended from the top of the a-frame and a red cloth cord with a two way dimmer switch is the original A-Lamp. Chandler has introduced other designs, including his O-Lamp, which are now available via his Kickstarter campaign.

THIS is a classy, geeky (and admittedly, a tad nerdy) lamp. It is well finished and combines the Edison style bulbs that are a favorite of steampunk fans with fine crafted and stained wood.

Geeks will love the mechanical toggle switch which blends ease of use with industrial design. The toggle features a 2-position dimmer, to boot. There’s a lot to love about these simple, elegant conversation pieces.

As of this writing, there are 12 days left on this Kickstarter and a few early bird options are still available.

You can follow A-Lamp Design on Instagram, Twitter and their website.

iBlazr 2 – Flash for Android & iOS Will Improve Your Photos

Screen Shot 2015-07-11 at 7.58.58 PMThe folks at iBlazr have come out with the second iteration of their external flash for Android and iOS devices.

The 300 LUX flash can be placed on your device for selfies or for your back-facing camera to greatly improve the quality of your photos – especially those taken in low or artificial light.

Unlike other 3rd party flashes that require you use the device’s app in order to work, iBlazr will work with any of your photo apps.

While you have the freedom to use your other photo apps, iBlazr’s companion app, Shotlight, gives you extra control over exposure, white balance, focus and ISO.

The iBlazr 2 is a Kickstarter campaign with just 5 days to go and has raised nearly triple their funding goal. Their original iBlazr was another successful Kickstarter campaign and they’re using the crowdfunding platform to finance the production of the new and improved version of their successful light.

Check out the video before for more details on this Bluetooth enabled flash.

You can follow iBlazr on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Flickr, Instagram, VK (a European social network with 100 million users) and their website.
