It Slices, It Dices: Spruce Combination Lamp-Sweeper; Bright Idea or Just Dim?
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 06.14.07
Okay, so TreeHugger generally approves of multi-functional objects and design: why have two when you can use just one, right? Transforming furniture, like this bendy chair or this table and chairs/sofa/bed triple threat, make a lot of sense, but the TreeHugger jury is out on the Spruce lamp/floor sweeper combo. TreeHugger Lloyd says, "I am not sure if this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen or if it is absolutely brilliant. I think both." and this TreeHugger has to agree: it probably beats having both a lamp and a floor sweeper, but we can't decide if the combination of the two is smart or just ridiculous. Either way, we're willing to bet that this guy would probably want one, and it wouldn't be the first weird combination to be a big hit on TreeHugger. At least you'd have plenty of light to see what you're sweeping... ::Spruce via ::Freshome

Hey it's nearly there - just use a manual floor sweeping motion that also charges a battery...and you get free light!
But you may wear out your carpet if you use the light too much....hmmmmmmmm
how about if the sweeper was also a generator, and the lamp was led, you wouldn't have any light to read unless you kept your floor nice and clean,
When I look at my floor sweeper, it's all dinged up and scraped on the edges from running in to things. I'm not sure how I'd feel about "using" my lamp like that.
