People can be so one dimensional sometimes, thinking that the basic light bulb need always be afixed to the ceiling to provide light, rather than say, running it in ribbon like streamers around your house. Combine Electro-LuminX uses patented technology and top manufacturing processes to create Light Tape Lamps, sellotape like streams of glowing phosphorus to illuminate a home or a party. They ask you to 'Imagine a light bulb as thin as a credit card, in any color, that you can bend around any surface, for hundreds and hundreds of feet, indoors or outdoors', which sounds pretty good to me, and the pics of it in action are pretty stunning too.
