Remember those lamps that can be turned on or off by a touch or a clap? The Elica lamp takes a different route to administer power into its soul, requiring you to blow it instead. Sexual innuendoes aside, this is a pretty neat idea but such an engineering design will confine the Elica lamp to non-airy places like an enclosed, air-conditioned bedroom. Imagine sleeping with the windows open, having the gentle breeze turning your lamp on and off the entire night. We doubt those living in the Netherlands will pick this up. The Elicam lamp uses lead free circuitry and easily disassembled parts in an effort to help reduce its impact on the environment. No idea on how much it costs though.
