Welcome to

Dyson Sphere lighting: Chris Natt’s Stimuli 3.0 lamp:

Conceptual sci-fi cocktease though it certainly is, the Stimuli 3.0 lamp is the desk lamp of Darth Vader, the pulsating hyperdrive core of reality-skipping aliens, the unfolding lantern of the Autobot Leadership Matrix, the outer coating of a Dyson Sphere digesting the energy of a swallowed sun. The idea of the Stimuli is simple: the outer panels are adjusted in response to daylight to maintain a constant level of light in any room. That’s a neat function, but I don’t care: it’s just the looks that would prompt me to a heartbeat purchase if this were actually available to buy. But it isn’t, alas.
