image Like a grandfather clock.  This is brilliant, but not produced yet.

To "turn on" the lamp, the user moves weights from the bottom to the top of the lamp. An hour-glass like mechanism is turned over and the weights are placed in the mass sled near the top of the lamp. The sled begins its gently glide back down and, within a few seconds, the LEDs come on and light the lamp,

That is very cool.

The LED lightbulb should last a lifetime so you are looking at a family heirloom.  Kind of a 21st century candle.

I believe that this was the LED lamp that won a national college energy award and was later proven the math behind the theretical energy savings was flawed. So the student that received the award was honest enough to acknowledge his mistake and return the award. Am I right? For low cost LED bulbs you can have now check out www.shop.donsgreenstore.com , be warned they are only good for samll lamps and night lights. The technology is improving, and this is a first taste.
