Slip a coin into the Change – Coin Deposit Lamp to switch it on

We came across a pretty sweet lamp that pinches out coins from your pocket every time you decide to switch it on. This concept simply reminds us of the fact that energy needs to be conserved, just like the coins in our pockets. By Finnish designer Tima Naskanen, the Change – Coin Deposit Lamp is perfect for use in places like libraries or just about anywhere that is used by the public and needs a lamp to be switched on. To have this one glow, all you need to do is deposit a coin in a slot on the supporting base. And you won’t leave this lamp on after you’re done, taken that you’re sure to pull out your coin once you’ve finished using it. The Change – Coin Deposit Lamp makes sure you waste no energy by leaving it plugged on and glowing when unused.

We sure wouldn’t waste a coin on leaving a lamp on, would we!
