Banish the dull darkness from any room with these lighthearted lighting alternatives.
 
TITANIC LAMP

Lamp design sinks to a new whimsical low with this aptly named table lamp in lacquered wood with cotton and steel shade. (see viablelondon.com for info)

GLOW BRICK

Charge the Glow Brick by day and get up to eight hours of light by, uh, the dark. The acrylic brick houses a bulb filled with phosphor luminescent powder. The energy in natural UV light absorbs into the bulb and then slowly releases as it glows in the dark. Whoa. ($30.99 at perpetualkid.com)

HAPPY DACHSHUND LAMP

Hee hee. Weenie dogs are funny. But glowing, nontoxic, odorless plastic weenie dogs? Hilarious. ($68 at nova68.com)
