Night Lights

Posted by Alex Zalben



If you have a lot of lawn, want to create some rather stunning night time lighting effects, and have a lot of moolah hanging around, I’ve got two unique solutions for you. This would be a Sweet and the Low post, btw, except both are Sweet, and neither is Low.

The first, you see above, is the Kanpazar 80. Imported from Spain, the Jon Santacoloma designed outdoor lamps are made of neutral polyethylene. They’re available either hardwired to the ground, or portable, and equipped with 11.5 feet of black wire, and a three prong grounded plug. They start out white, as you can see above, but there is a note that after time, UV rays may alter the color and pigmentation of the materials.

[$896, Y Lighting]

If small and flexible is more your style than tall and pointy, you might want to check out Moonlight, a flexible, “first class” lighting solution:

 

Moonlight comes in a ton of different styles and shapes, from full globes, to half globes; mounted on columns, to suspended from the ceiling. You can mix and match to your hearts content to create a unique lighting combination, in almost any location.

Prices vary, but you can snag most of them for anywhere between $325 and $1000.

  • about the blogger

    Alex Zalben is a writer living in New York City. He's written for McSweeney's, Modern Humorist and PulpSecret.com. As one-fifth of the sketch comedy group Elephant Larry, he has been written up in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and pretty much every other major publication. Their blog was named one of PC Magazine's Top Blogs for 2007, and they recently won an ECNY Award for their viral short, "Minesweeper: The Movie." Alex did not know love until he bought his first Mac.

    Steph Auteri is a freelance writer and proofreader who has been published in Publishers Weekly, New York Press, Playgirl, and other bastions of fine writing. She maintains a professional site http://www.stephiswrite.com, and also blogs about freelancing over at Freelancedom. You can keep up on her day-to-day by visiting her Twitter page.

    Diana Vilibert is a freelance writer, among other things. Born in Lithuania, she now lives in New Jersey, where she doesn't have to walk to work ten miles in the snow, barefoot, uphill both ways. Diana cannot afford most of the products she writes about because she buys too many pairs of heels to make up for her shoeless childhood. She's written for MarieClaire.com, Janemag.com, and CosmoGIRL!.

    Shaun Seneviratne is a dude just like anyone else. Just your average guy that raps Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to strangers on the subway at 4 a.m., doesn't chew his food because he believes it's a waste of time, and sleeps next to a scale replica of the Ghostbusters headquarters. He can rest easy knowing Egon, Peter, Ray, and Winston have his back. He currently lives in northern New Jersey, plays bass in Rapid Cities, and recently started a tumblr.

    Laureen Mahler is a writer and editor who lives in California, where the sun never sets and everyone rollerskates to work. She coedits Beeswax Magazine and spends the remainder of her time as a freelance writer and letterpresser. She truly believes that someday she will master the ultimate multitask of blogging while letterpressing, though that might mean that she'll need a second pair of arms.
