8BitLit over at Etsy has a pretty cool pendant lamp, made to resemble the coin blocks from Super Mario Brothers. What makes it even cooler is that it's interactive. Here is the description from their Etsy page:
This is a custom made touch sensitive lamp after the fashion of the Super Mario Brothers question mark blocks that appear throughout the series. It’s 6 inches by 6 inches by 6 inches, and made of laser-cut plexiglass and lit from inside by energy-efficient LEDs. The lamp is very light and suspended from an integrated 11-foot power cord, so it’s ready to be hung from a hook on your ceiling and plugged directly into an outlet. The internal power supply is 100v-240v compatible, so the lamp will work even abroad with just a simple plug adapter. If you want to use the lamp on a side table or by your bed, we offer a custom acrylic stand (sold separately).
To turn the lamp on and off, merely punch, ahem, I mean touch, the bottom of the cube and you’ll be rewarded with both light and the classic coin noise. Every eight times you toggle the light, you’ll get a 1-UP! It’s very bright in a dark room and still visible in daylight.Each lamp will set you back a cool $74.99, but if you'd like to take a go at assembling it yourself, they offer a kit with everything you need (excluding soldering iron, solder, some hot glue and superglue) for $54.99. You can also pick up a desk lamp stand for an additional $15.
You can check out a quick demo of the interactive features after the break.
Stay nerdy my friends.
