Light The Night
A Bright (Bulb!) Idea
Suspended in a clear acrylic brick, this nightlight requires no electricity to cast a soft green light. The bulb is real, but designers modified it with glow-in-the-dark material so it absorbs daylight and gives off a subtle glow at night. $35. www.uncommongoods.com. Photo courtesy of uncommongoods.com
