Who knew the depths to which we worship not only dark, but neon light that glows in the dark? The products in this cluster showcase human innovation and, most importantly, our refusal to abandon our love affair with night. From glow-in-the-dark bicycles to glowing plants, watches, furniture, lingerie and even sinks, these inventions are a night owl's dream--or a vampire's.
Perhaps these glow-in-the-dark gadgets reflect a subconscious desire to manipulate light; after all, the sun's pretty much got the light department covered during the day. Traditional yellow or white light is boring, standard and far too Martha Stewart. The soft glow of neon, on the other hand, is mysterious in that sort of Dr. House-meets-mad-scientist way, an exploration of all light that is not organic and natural. Or maybe they really are just meant to help you find your keys, cocktail or cell phone in the dark.
