What do you want from a lamp? Light, right? Maybe good looks? With Ralf Zoontjes's Luxalive lamp, you've got all that, but also a friend — one that's maybe a little needy.

The Luxalive reacts to your position to give you the best light, reading over your shoulder and increasing its brightness ever so often. Sounds nice enough, but the Luxalive also craves your attention, coaxing you to play with the glowing red nub at its end if you want it to keep the lights on. Neglect it for too long and it'll fall asleep, leaving you to read in the dark.
