Called the "Cafe au LED", this curious LED lamp from Japan comes in the shape of a coffee cup. Designed by Ryuichi Abe, it can be set to flicker like a candle — just like the Candela LED lamps we featured previously. This lamp is made with glass and steel, and runs for 11 hours on a single charge. You can read more about the lamp on this page (translated from Japanese).

Neato, but I'd be more impressed with a self powered coffee mug/LED lamp. It takes the heat from a the coffee to recharge the battery which powers LED lamp.

then you'd have cold coffee! well depending on how much energy it takes to light whatever LED configuration you use.
