Another thought; So this is designed to increase the vibrations on the light bulb filament? Brilliant!

Though this is kinda nifty, I would never use these in place of speakers. However, set these up to be properly phased additional tweeters, and everyone in the room could get sweet spot Imaging if set up right. (assuming they don't sound like paper bags)

Wow that actually sounds awesome. But do the lights haveto be on to make sound, or can they be independent?

Sidenote: F wireless audio transmission. When is soMeone going to create near lossless wireless speaker transmission? All the ones I've heard make me cringe at the quality. ]]>Jan 23rd 2009 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Systems like this already exist, but I can see these as a very easy and cheap method to upgrade buildings that dont have modern systems.]]>Jan 23rd 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 12:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/Jan 23rd 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/soundbulb-serves-two-great-purposes-at-least-in-theory/
you can actually find the sound innovation contest, where you can find no less than 3 similar concept.. something in the air i guess..
