LED Lights Let You Pimp Out Your Couch, Neon-Style

by Caleb Johnson on August 1, 2009 at 05:30 PM

Remember when everyone installed those neon lights underneath their cars, like in 'The Fast and The Furious?' We thought that trend had died out like Paul Walker's acting career.

Now, thanks to LIT's LED lighting kit, you can relive those days in the comfort of your own home. These LED tubes can be installed around or under just about any piece of furniture in your house, giving it that sci-fi or street racing feel you've been looking for. According to DVICE, the basic kit costs $210 and includes a 37-inch adjustable LED tube, a remote control, and a power supply. If you just can't get enough of that neon glow, additional tubes are available for $75 to $88. You can choose just about any color of the rainbow with the remote, or you can set the lights to cycle through each color so you'll never get bored with just one.

It'd take a certain kind of man, like Don Johnson, to pull off this home accessory. If you do go down the pimped-out couch route, don't be surprised if guests wearing linen pants and colorful blazers start hanging out in your living room doing cocaine and listening to Phil Collins.
