Vaka: Just twist and let there be light

By Asmita Prasad /Jul 22 2008

Created by designer Ian Bach, Vaka is a revolutionary home lighting concept that allows you to illuminate any vicinity with soft, smooth and romantic light without wires. The portable battery-powered lights look like decked up traditional light bulbs and can be twisted on and placed anywhere you might need more light. Once they go out, you can twist them back and place onto the post for a full recharge.
