A Glass Of Drink LED Light

Posted in: LED, Today's Chili

A%20Glass%20Of%20Drink%20LED%20Light.jpgThis product is definitely not for those of you “on the wagon”. However, if you don’t mind a constant reminder of a cocktail at your bedside, enjoying a soothing glow of A Glass Of Drink LED Light could be a good way to turn in.

When standing in an upright position, the device gives off luminous hues which smoothly alternate between green, blue, and red. Turn it upside down and the light goes away. It also comes with a switch that lets you turn it off completely. Once again, A Glass Of Drink LED Light does not appear to be an actual glass. So we don’t recommend using it to make gin and tonics.

With its power-savvy LEDs the light could also be considered “green”. But then again, it is powered by standard AAA alkaline batteries. The manufacturer could have easily come up with some sort of self-winding dynamo system, but didn’t. Thus, A Glass Of Drink LED Light did not make the cut for our green technology site, GoodCleanTech.com. Go here for more photos and a video.
