Gamer Illumination

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Space Invader Light Shades are Nerdilicious

— January 5, 2010 — Tech
No self respecting gamer geek's refuge is complete without being illuminated by these nerdilicious Space Invader lampshades. The constant barrage of old school arcade enhancements that have recently been appearing, go to show that when it comes to being the king of geekdom, retro gamer gear is always the hottest style.

As far as my aspirations to accessorize my domicile, anything that resembles these fixtures would indeed be an invasion of space.

Implications - The Space Invaders lampshades can be used as both ceiling lamps and table lamps. The green aliens that hang from above in the featured images look as if they are descending upon you! The lampshade is black, but when the light is turned on it looks brown.

1. Retro Gamer Gear - There is an opportunity to further incorporate retro gamer gear into home décor and accessories.
2. Novelty Lighting - There is potential in creating more unique and unusual lighting designs that cater to niche interests like gaming.
3. Geek-chic Aesthetics - There is an opportunity to expand on the current trend of incorporating nerdy, geeky elements into fashion, furnishing, and design.
Industry Implications
