Lumiotec starts selling OLED lighting development kits, but not for a song

There's probably nothing wrong with the existing incandescent setup that's lighting your abode as we speak, but if you've been itching to do something -- how do you say? -- different, Lumiotec needs to have a word with you. The Japanese outfit is now selling OLED lighting development kits, which are perfect for DIYers looking for light-up tiles to create a nightclub in their basement. We're pretty sure you could think of other things to do with the ¥84,000 ($934) kit, but isn't a homegrown rave room good enough? Sheesh.

$1000 for a 4.5" square OLED. The text says it's a design sample kit. As a technology demo I guess some companies might be interested, but it looks like we are still a long way from commercial viability.
