It's a design idea that may be a bit too clever for its own good: The Magic Bulb is a alarm clock shaped like a light bulb, made by Korean company 10 x 10. Great idea, right? 'Cause, like, light bulbs are the same as ideas. Brilliant. To someone. Maybe. In any case, the clock does more than just emulate the look of a bulb — it also copies its light-bestowing abilities, too. Only in this case, the bulb emits the soft glow of an LED instead of an intense incandescent. Once turned on, it'll cycle through several colors, providing some cool mood lighting for your nocturnal activities.

Need some of this color-changing LED alarm action? Be ready with $12 (plus shipping), four AA batteries, and some patience. It's coming from Korea for crying out loud. — Peter Pachal
