For one, I know Philips was working on color-changing LEDs and lightbulbs that are easy to install while providing high power.
On top of that, they introduced Ambilight TVs where the background lights would match with what you see on TV.
Lastly but not least, I did hear of
Fully Functional NES inside toaster

Check out this cool DIY Nintendo Toaster that encloses the whole Nintendo inside itself. What I like most about this project is the toaster pop-out function works for the NES cartridges while the toaster LED turns on if the game is on.
I had an awful lot of people suggesting that my previous project (the Super Genintari/Leviticus) looked like a toaster. I then discovered that I had an extra NES and toaster laying around and knew what had to be done.

Wow, who would’ve thought you could make a Lego PC?
Most things worked out amazingly well, like the ATX power switches fitting perfectly snug in the space of a 1×1 brick, and the LEDs fitting perfectly in a 1×1 brick with hole. I hot glued a 1×1 brick to the power and reset switches to act as buttons. I also put a dab of hot glue on each corner of the ATX I/O plate, which was just a little too small to fit snugly.
I also realized that I underestimated the cohesive strength of L
Flare facade, is a living outer skin for any building. Composed of individual 3-D triangulars, these things can individually controlled via a computer to create some really amazing animation effects without the use of LEDs and electricity. (Pic and Video after the jump)
Perhaps, if they put a solar cell on each of these blocks, you will get a super-controllable sustainable energy for the building. Kill 2 stones with 1 bird. (haha…)
Here’s
If you are thinking about getting a GPS, make sure to get the Knight Rider GPS with Kitt’s voice. It’s almost like riding the Knight Rider.
the display is flanked by a series of red LEDs that mimic KITTs hood-mounted lights. Further details are scarce, but we do know the Mio Knight Rider GPS will retail for $299

Here’s an interesting DIY light bar controller that might interest your weekend hacking desires.
This device analyses the music it picks up via the electret microphone, then flashes the LEDs in time to the music. It’s encased in the box SparkFun sent me the microphones in, since the box was just begging to be used as a case for something! I’m sure that was intentionally designed.

Here’s an interesting AVR tri-color LED controller.
The new project based in AVR microcontrollers Its an “Habitat Mirror Hack” with RGB Leds (superflux). Its the Peggy Muppets Mirror.
I replace the regular bulbs that it has, with superflux RGB leds and i make a controller based on ATMEGA8 for control 16 rgb leds with 3 bits of color depth (8 colors). In my post you can download scheme, pcb and source code.

Oh boy, this reminds me of all the cool watches reviewed plus some more…
Housed in a smart new case, Infection is ergonomically designed to neatly fit the contours of your wrist, the tapered edges providing a smooth transition between the case and lens.
Twenty-seven multi-colored LEDs pulsate and move like cells across the curved face to present the time from beneath the attractive mirrored mineral crystal lens.
Finished
It looks like more and more designers are incorporating LEDs into their masterpieces. Great stuff!
Low consumer, low voltage and high performance leds which can be considered the latest product of refined and ever-new conception fresh realized in Hong Kong, are brought in each piece and turn these furniture into out-and-out diffuse light sources or in a kind of light which, in an optional version, can change at will in the color scale.
