The Glow Brick has to be the next best thing to remote-controlled lighting. In fact, we'll stick our neck out and say that it's even better, because you don't have to lift a finger to switch it on.
A strangely lovely phosphorescent light bulb is entombed in a clear acrylic brick, which lounges about by day, quietly soaking up solar energy, then takes centre stage by night.
At dusk, the light starts glowing all green and mysterious, showing an awesome staying power throughout the darkest hours. The overall effect is of a disembodied shining light bulb suspended in mid air, which, you'd have to agree, is not something you see every day.
On a functional level, it makes a handy, low-maintenance security light. On a frivolous level, it's a jolly nice talking piece for people who like to talk in dark rooms.

This product is excellent. It gives off an eerie glow and adds a touch of Je ne sais quoi to a room. It makes a room look awesomely scary and at the same time beautiful!

I have to confess to being sceptical, didn't really look like anything special and god it's heavy. But it's amazing, it's so beautiful and now everyone wants one for christmas.

Extremely cool light, soaks up the sun during the day and glows by night, perfect gothic accessory for a room - not too bright, not too dull, all in all, very groovy!

I bought this item about a year ago, and I am STILL loving it, it gives a brilliant glow at night. It would be perfect for a party, or for ghost stories. This is the most ingenious thing I have ever bought!

One of the best things I have bought in a long time, Perfect mood lighting, during the day it makes an interestingly abstract piece and at night, a stunning light.

Brought one of these a while back. Still glows gracefully at night. It's so relaxing too.
Was also a great prop for playing a trick on a friend!
Thanks IWOOT thumbs up to you! x

This was given to me as a gift and I have to say is actually quite cool looking. I don't know that the light is quite enough to light up a room, but it does give off enough to give my Ants in my Ant Works a little extra light to work by.

Bought the Glow Cube and loved it. Everybody comments on it and your description was spot on.

The Glow Brick is great. I got it as a stocking present and i love it. The brick is great for little children as a night light because it dosen't cost anything to run so its perfect.
