I do a fair bit of drawing and reading, two activities that generally require good lighting. Thus, you’ll find more than a few extra lamps in the various rooms of my house. This is because standard overhead lights either don’t cut it, or provide more light than I need, depending on the situation. My favorite kind of lamp is one attached to an adjustable arm. This is because I can quickly and easily reposition it without much effort. Wouldn’t it be great if larger lamps were this easy to adjust? Well now you can buy one that is.
The Anglepoise Giant1227 Classic Range may look like your average desk lamp, however, it is anything but. In fact, it can’t actually sit on your desk at all(unless you have the desk of a giant, that is). Instead, its shape mimics one that you might see sitting in an office. It uses a set of aluminum bars and springs to keep the beam of light just where you need it.
So how large is this lamp? It is roughly three times the size of its smaller brother. It stands a little over 6.5†tall, and even the lamp shade is about a foot and a half across. For lighting, it comes equipped with a 100 watt halogen reflector bulb, though it can be replaced with any standard bulb. Unlike most similar desk lamps, you’ll find a dimmer, so you can get the lighting just the way you want it.
Now I bet you’re wondering just how much this interesting lamp will set you back. Unfortunately it is priced like an art piece, rather than a simple piece of home décor. You’ll be looking at around $3,500 to get one for yourself. If you do feel like picking one up, you’ll be able to choose from white, black, grey, or red.

Sure, many of us have at the bare minimum, one smartphone with us at all times, while others who are more liberal with their wallets have an iPad or tablet device to play around with, not to mention majority of the modern day workforce relying on a notebook or Ultrabook to get their work done on the go. This has certainly led one to think along the lines of ensuring that every single device must be charged the night before so that they have enough juice to last at least throughout the next day. While this is the ideal situation, it does not happen the way you want to all the time, and in the event of an emergency, what are you going to do? This is where the Goal Zero Yeti 150 and Yeti 400 Solar Generators would come in handy, also helping those who want to be prepared for the fast approaching 2013 hurricane season complete their preparations.
