You know you have become an adult when…

…you spend more than $1k on lighting equipment for your home. I’ve made a few big home improvement purchases and yesterday added lighting to the fray. I’m replacing all of the lighting in the living room with theater style lighting as another step towards my eventual home theater living room. All this home improvement is very adult, very unlike me.

The new lighting will arrive in 2-3 weeks and consists of track lighting over the couch, decorative accent lighting for near the screen, and Lutron Maestro home automation switches to let my Logitech Harmony programmable uber-remote control the lighting for home theater macro’s.

Lightstik

Best part of it is this light, the Lightstik. The base is electrified (very weak current - you can’t feel it with your fingers) and the LED sticks just sit in there. The moment they make contact with the base unit they light up.

    Shoot, that light thingy is cool. Makes me want to modify pens and a stand to do the same thing, and also they’d be pens!

    I must do that. Right now.

    I love that in the post about how grownup you’re being, you post as a supporting example a picture of a lighting toy that is clearly useless for practical illumination. Oh, Sparky. You can try, but the weary bonds of adulthood aren’t stifling your “oooh, neato” reflex *quite* yet.

    Now you just need to move somewhere larger than your car and then you’ll be able to call yourself a real grownup! :D
