Shift and Ctrl Key Lights (Style-o-Phile, Under $50)

An interesting piece of lighting has the ability to totally transform the ambience of a space, as well as bring other design elements into frame. The Shift and Ctrl Key Lights ($19.90 each) are an inexpensive, novel, and still touchingly geeky solution. The oversize keys come in both yellow and white (we like the cool minimalist look of the white) and are lit with energy-saving LEDs. Perfect for students, or even livening up an office or home workspace, these lights have just the right amount of whimsy without being overly gimmicky. The only downside is that Alt and Delete lights are not yet available to compliment Ctrl for the ultimate (end) task lamp.
