Newton and Swinging Bulbs

Think way back to physics class.... remember those pendulum balls that would knock back and forth when one ball is put in motion? The amazing and ever intriguing demonstration of kinetic energy, motion, and law of momentum....

This is a Pier One interpretation of Newton's Cradle as a hand-crafted must-have desktop accessory... swing-a-ling-ling




Well, this simple "action-reaction" experiment and desktop toy has been turned into a brilliant and bright idea...

This cool Balls lamp is designed by Louise Campbell, obviously inspired by Newton's laws of motion....



The balls let off a soft white light, and when set in motion, a blue light activates at the top of each ball as it is struck. Super cool!

I am sure Sir Isaac would be proud....
