Fiber Optic Table Illuminates Your Dining

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the and-freaks-out-friends dept.

Deepa writes "We highly doubt LumiGram's Luminous Fiber Optic Tablecloth was designed with power outages in mind, but why hook up a boring string of lamps or fiddle with half melted candles when you can plug this bad boy into the generator? The cloth, which has fiber optics woven throughout, cotton borders, and a Europlug mains adapter, proves most useful when the lights are dimmed, and should prove quite the centerpiece at your next get-together. The illuminating device is available in a trio of sizes, comes in a variety of color schemes."

  1. Trio of sizes? by LiquidCoooled · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Metric conversions seem a bit 'odd' on both the article and the proper page:

    Dimensions:

            * Small: 150x400 cm (59x157 inches).
            * Medium: 150x400 cm (59x197 inches).
            * Large: 150x400 cm (59x236 inches).

      I guess inches come in three sizes:
      *small inches are 2.54 cm
      *medium inches are 2.03 cm
      *large inches are 1.69 cm


      You see, small is large and large is small. This makes sense, well, at least as much sense as anyting else related to medieval measurement systems.
