It may not be the first or one of its kind, but a nice effort anyway. I am talking about the light sticks from Energizer. The next time there is a powercut, you know what to use. These LED lights give off enough lights to work by. What sets it apart from most others of its kind is the fact that it runs on built-in rechargeable battery packs. It cuts down on the load of disposed batteries that the environment is choking under.

Chen Feijun and Zhao Bin have invented a shoe called Pioneer that converts kinetic energy of walking into electrical energy, which powers a headlight at the front of the shoe. This shoe has a battery within itself which once charged can be successfully used to power a headlight for twelve hours (the maximum scope of the LED headlight is 1.5m to the front). This shoe has all the safety gears to keep the batter, light and your feet intact. Nightriders, this is what the doctor has ordered for you! So why wait to see yourself lying in some stinky drain when technology has a great deal to offer and that too with a touch of a button.

The LED illuminated pillow/s decorates your surrounding water acting individually or as a field. Inspired from bioluminescent underwater creatures, Light Drift proposes an array of photovoltaically powered luminous floats. The individual elements are vacuum foamed polycarbonate shells molded to house a custom PV, microcontroller and circuit board.
