Fiberoptics are cool

Neues Licht has a new lamp, practically made of fiber optics. Aside from looking cool in a very space-age way, it has some interesting applications. Properly routed, it could allow natural sunlight to flow into a windowless room. And the fact that it's waterproof means that even if your house is flooded to the ceiling, you lamp will still work! It also reminds me of another fiber-optic based device.
