The LED balloon-lamp

We're not entirely sure how long these things are going to last (don't rubber balloons usually deflate after a few days?) and we're not even goign to think about what would happen if you had a bunch of these at your house during a party. But what could be better than a $35 lamp that not only uses a really bright low-power LED, but could also be filled with any number of toxic, odiferous, natural-biological, or hilarious-voice-transforming gasses? Our vote: nothing.

This would be great for camping and backyard parties. I really want one. Does anyone know of a vendor or distributor in the United States?

The left image in the post links to the company in Japan that is selling them (http://www.kyouei-ltd.co.jp/page/balloon.html) Unfortunately, the details are a bit hazy.

I know a guy who was an early adopter of LED flashlight technology, constructing and donating units to a part of the world where there is [virtually] no electricity avalable. This is a clever diffusal mechansim, even if short-lived. structurally..

Hey, when does my home lighting get "ribbed, for extra pleasure"?

"Lumidom. Lighting the way....."

Kinda gives new meaning to "getting in trouble with miners".

Ok, so let's hum, She's Got the Goldmine, I've Got the Shaft. Everybody, now!

Surely I'm not the first person to see this one, ahem, coming?

They are a lamp which is made with a balloon and LED.The LED has no generation off power like other lights, such as incandescent lamps. And it has high illumination, long lifetime and is energy-saving. And it is also possible to use it continuously over 100 hours by using the lithium-coin battery.

They are produced by BEKKOU(=Me), a Japanese artist, who has released HiLite"Bekkou"
EKTai"Kouichi Okamoto" Sengen "DjMisjah vs Kouichi okamoto"from X-trax(NL) Rerun(NL).
These 3 items are his new works outside of his usual music field.
