Having discussed a number of cool solar gadgets over the last couple of months, I wanted to take a second to talk about one of my favorite new gadgets; the Glow Brick. The Glow Brick is a regular sized solar powered lightbulb that is housed in a glass brick. Upon soaking up sunlight all day, the bulb glows an eerie green at night. I have no idea why I think this is so cool? I suppose this post would have been a bit more helpful around Halloween, but I’m sure you found that Leptovox post on one of those other blogs more helpful.

Currently, the Glow Brick is about $19.99. I’m not too sure about any practical applications for this gadget other than ambient light while camping or perhaps a night-light for the kids (or nerdy adult “kids”). I’m also not terribly certain as to whether or not this product would really lessen your monthly utility costs due to the miniscule item (night-light) that it would be replacing. I suppose I am reading a bit too deeply into this one. This product is meant to be fun for folks interested in solar energy and creepy glowing green things.
