Painting with light. A lot faster and easier than using paint!

Giz Wiz Video of the week:

When you think of redoing a room you might not think of lighting. But lighting is an easy way to change the feel of a room almost instantly. And you change it over and over again with the Philips LivingColors Generation 2 lamp. This is probably the most unique lighting fixture you’ve seen in a long time. The outside is a clear orb with a strange shaped conical lamp inside.  If you buy one, you don’t have to decide what color bulb you want because LivingColors lets create 16 million colors. If you need max light for work, switch it to plain white light. Because LivingColors comes with a remote you can sit there and constantly change the feel of your room any time you feel like it. If you want to be surprised, set the remote to automatic. You can even adjust the speed that the colors change. At Eco-Focus the Living Colors lamp was set to demo mode, so I didn’t get to make my own color choices. But it was fun to watch, even in a room that had bright lights. This new generation uses 7 LEDs to produce a light intensity that's 50% more intense than the original model. Philips builds TV’s that change the wall behind the set to a color that matches or enhances what’s the on the screen. If you want you can do the same with LivingColors remote. Change the color of the wall behind the set to reflect what you’re watch on the screen. For the holidays you could turn a white wall green in seconds!  $199.99 at Amazon. (I haven’t bought anything here:)

The second product in the video is Philips Imageo Rechargeable Table Lights. It’s a way to create atmosphere at an outdoor table at night without the risk of open flames and hot wax. The set includes two rechargeable LED candles lights, a charger and integrated adaptor. If you want the full, catchy name of this product it’s: Philips Imageo LED Rechargeable Color Changing Table Lights with Charging Plate. These lights offer a relaxing; even romantic glow and change color when you flip them over and back up again. Or simply tilt it to turn it on and off. After an initial charge on the wireless induction charging station, these lights will glow for 6 hours. A set with two lights and the charging station is $74.99 here on Amazon. (I haven’t bought anything here.
