The first lamp shown here is from Sylvania, it's the 'cheap' one. Consuming five watts and producing an unknown number of lumens. It looks pretty cool, produces very little heat and a lifespan of 20,000 hours doesn't hurt.
The other, rather peculiar looking lamp, called the el.e.dee (el.a.em.e), is basically a circuit board on a stick with a ton of LEDs packed onto it. The idea is cool, minimalist, and I wouldn't mind owning one if it didn't cost $4000. I actually called Unica to make sure the price was correct. They assured me that the man who designed it is very well known.

I quite admire these designers who manage to persuade some idiot to buy something cheap, for a ridiculous price, they must be laughing all the way to the bank.
But someone should tell him, that he has left his Molegrip wrench on the back of the lamp. ;D
It would be interesting to see how much actual illumination the Sylvania lamp provides, as although LEDs are bright, they dont seem to cast much light, if you get what I mean.
Although I have a 3 LED torch that has quite a good focused beam.

The only thing that needs to happen now for people to run and start buying these LED desklamps is someone selling something that "looks similar" to this but at a mainstream price. If MTV Cribs could show one of the real things in some celebrity's house it should greatly benefit the outcome I speculated.
