    Wow! I wonder if FLEECE is used in anything other that the pricing and marketing??

    I'd try building a few before I paid $1000.

    Six clouds for only $4,100.00 (Networked Sky option)... Wonder if that includes shipping?

    While some people find thunderstorms refreshing and relaxing, others suffer severe anxiety and depression from from being shut off from the sun.

    For those, I'm offering my "Indoor Sun" art installation with a "Genesis String", so *YOU* can say "Let there be light!" and make it so.

    These are only $250 each with free shipping.

    Do you have a more environmentally friendly version? Those Edison lamps are so yesterday.

    I was just saying to myself...."I need a semi-immersive lightning experience and a speaker with visual feedback....". Then this shows up!

    Now, if it were a UAV blimp that looked like a cloud and did this, then it might be worth $1000. The wires just ruin it for me in this day and age.

    "eco friendly"!!
    I think you really meant erco friendly!!!, Any how, I am not sure how they did it, but if I get 100 orders for $150.00 each I WILL figure it out

    It looks like a prototype of my NfL FoOtbAlL cONcuSsiOn lAMp.

    Not exactly the brightest idea.

    More proof that P. T. Barnum was an optimist.

    IIRC those are called "heat balls": http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/energy/blogs/skirting-eu-law-the-rebranding-of-incandescent-bulbs-as-heat-balls
