Anti-Disturbance Office Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Luxafor Light-Up Flag Tells Your Co-Workers To Leave You Be

— January 20, 2015 — Art & Design
The Luxafor is a light-up flag that is designed to be attached to your computer or laptop in the office. More and more nowadays, people find themselves working in open-concept offices with shared desks. While this is great for fostering open dialogue and creating a sense of community, it also makes it easier to get distracted.

Enter the Luxafor. Created by the folks at GreyNut, this simple light-up flag can be set to flash either a red or green light. After all, the meaning behind those colors is pretty universally understood. If my light is red, don't dare approach me and ask if I have your stapler.

What's cool about the Luxafor is that it even comes with an auto mode, wherein the red flag is raised when you're using certain programs or when you're reading your email.

The device is currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign. Early bird pledges are available for $21.
