Na Yoon-mi's Light Bulb Radio is a functional update to the one piece of technology that will never become extinct: the clock radio. Yoon-Mi's design reshapes the clock radio into a light bulb, letting it pull triple duty as both an alarm clock, a radio and a night light.
The current radio station and time are displayed on the Light Bulb Radio's transparent LED screen and the speakers are installed at the base of the light. The radio is functional and fun, but I would like to see something added to it to appeal to today's tech savvy youth. The simple addition of an iPhone dock could really make the Light Bulb Radio a must-have gadget. All iPhone docks aside, this alarm clock has a solid design and definitely deserves a look.
