In an effort to cut this figure, many modern buildings have done away with the humble light switch in favor of automatic motion-detector switches or complicated control panels with arrays of sliders and buttons. A new system literally puts the controls back in people’s hands and its developers at MIT say it has the potential to slash lighting bills by more than half. <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/adaptive-lighting-system/17008/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/electronics/" style="float: left; ">ELECTRONICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/gorillatorch-blade/16626/">Joby ups the intensity with new Gorillatorch Blade</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>16:41 October 11, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/gorillatorch-blade/16626/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/gorillatorch-blade/16626/picture/122906/">6 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/gorillatorch-blade/16626/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101203060629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/gorillatorchblade.jpg" title="The Gorillatorch Blade hangin' around" alt="The Gorillatorch Blade hangin' around"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Joby’s Gorillatorch line has been removing the torches from DIYer’s mouths and underarms for a while now with its original 65-lumens <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/joby-gorillatorch-hands-free-led-flashlight/12583/" target="_blank">Gorillatorch</a>, which was joined earlier this year by the more powerful 100-lumens <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/joby-gorillatorch-flare/15350/" target="_blank">Gorillatorch Flare</a>.

They are extremely energy efficient, dimmable, can produce many different colors, emit light over an extended area and the light they produce is diffuse and non-glaring. The thin, flat nature of OLEDs also makes it possible to create light sources in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. However, until now, the physical characteristics of OLEDs have meant they have had to be powered from low-voltage direct current (DC) sources.

Such a thing is possible, however, and could even become a common occurrence. That’s because Lighting Science Group now manufactures solar powered LED streetlights, that can run entirely independent of local power grids. Even if the availability of electricity isn’t an issue, Lighting Science states they are also brighter, more efficient, and require less maintenance than regular HID streetlights. Those claims obviously impressed somebody, as the company’s PROLIFIC Series Roadway streetlights are now being installed on a 23-kilometer (14-mile) stretch of Mexico City’s elevated Viaducto Bicentenario superhighway. <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/solar-powered-led-streetlights/16097/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/aroundthehome/" style="float: left; ">AROUND THE HOME</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-led-ceiling-lights/16084/">Sharp lights the way with LED ceiling lights</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>21:53 August 19, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-led-ceiling-lights/16084/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-led-ceiling-lights/16084/picture/119492/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-led-ceiling-lights/16084/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101203060629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sharp-led-ceiling-lights.jpg" title="The six new models of LED ceiling lights from Sharp" alt="The six new models of LED ceiling lights from Sharp"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Low-voltage halogen downlights are among the most commonly used globes in the world. Despite the low voltage moniker they aren’t very energy efficient, generally producing around the same amount of greenhouse gas as a 60-watt incandescent globe. While there are plenty of environmentally friendly alternatives to incandescent globes, finding a greener alternative for recessed lighting offers less options. Sharp is providing another, however, with its thin design LED ceiling lights. <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/sharp-led-ceiling-lights/16084/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/urbantransport/" style="float: left; ">URBAN TRANSPORT</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/cyglo-bike-tires/15937/">Cyglo bike tire embedded with LED lights </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>23:20 August 3, 2010</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/cyglo-bike-tires/15937/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20101203060629im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/cyglo-bike-tires/15937/picture/118877/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20101203060629/http://www.gizmag.com/cyglo-bike-tires/15937/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20101203060629im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/cyglo-bike-tire.jpg" title="The Cyglo bike tire embedded with LED lights" alt="The Cyglo bike tire embedded with LED lights"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>We’ve covered a number of products designed to light up a bicycle to increase the safety of nighttime riding.

But as great as those features are, this one's so forehead-slappingly obvious and excellent that frankly it's a disgrace that nobody else has beaten the Bavarians to it. The Adaptive Headlight technology on the upcoming K1600GT finally solves one of the most annoying problems on pretty much every motorcycle - by tilting the headlight according to your lean angle, to light your way around a corner as you turn it, instead of having to ride into blackness.
