The future of lighting

This outta be done. DO THIS. (I'm talkin' to YOU, whoever's in charge of it!)

Now, how would this be brought into Our Fave Game?
 
Another future implication for lighting - the use of bio-luminance (sp?), using living "lightbulbs" with enzymes such as Luciferaze. Search the Lone Star forum for my cintribution about this
 
Other pigments might even store ambient light and shine out in the darkness...

Oh no... Tatooed Mercenaries from Outerspace, look how they glow :D ...

Better not think of the rather inherent uses in so caled vogue. *Ägelerks* Painting you tongue in luciferase could also be a childhood pasttime :( ...

Or you cary around you light behind the box by painting it, so no one may say you are a small light.

I'am just joking... becaus it is funny.
 
Bioluminescent lighting is cool. Ah, that's an unintended pun.

IMTU, lighting is solid state. But that's no biggie, we have white LEDs and OLEDs already. Maybe our looming energy crunch will push them into the mainstream of home lighting. Back to IMTU.

IMTU, wall panels provide abundant ambient light at any brightness level. They're OLED-like, meaning they can generate any RGB combination and are ultra low-power, and they also function as graphic displays.
 
OLED in Germany - Tapestries that are television sets and Monitors

There was also a Newsbreak several months ago, which said, that germany is at the moment the leader in developement of this technology.

Alas, that has no meaning. In Germany good concepts were always the first swimming in the loo, and the bad one got in the treasurechest.

Nevermind, local politics.

The Technology is astoundig. Imagine a sheet of Paper covered by OLED's. At the current state of developement they have a theoritical duration of 2000 hours.

The resolution posible with this technology is also very astounding.
