I do have some caveats, though: First off, I would like to know how many Lumens these lights produce. I also feel that too much resources might be wasted in giving the light such a whimsical, yet rather impractical form. Wouldn't it be better if the user could arrange 2 or more lights together, as if it were a sort of jigsaw puzzle or something? Also, that you could stick it on top of a simple base so it could serve better as a reading lamp, instead of suspending it with a cord? Is it waterproof? Is it shatter-proof? The on/off switch looks rather fragile. could there be some way to discard it altogether, and seek a simple solution to turn on the light? I still think it's a great idea, but an idea that it could be improved upon :) Another commendable idea, meant to foster an improvement in the lives of people who are still enslaved by the darkness of night.
