Moon And Sun Light Fixture
There are plenty of ‘moon lamps‘ available out there. But what I have in mind is a normal light fixture that has a moon image that will glow-in-the-dark. So when the light is on it looks like the sun, and off looks like the moon.
This was inspired by those neat Dinosaur coins the Canadian Mint is releasing.
This would be great for a kids room or the grownup stargazers among us. Would compliment a ceiling populated with glow-in-the-dark stars nicely.
I’m not entirely sure if this is possible - would the heat from the bulbs damage the glowing properties of the moon image? Can the moon image be opaque enough for the light to pass through? Maybe someone out there smarter than me can provide insight.

fluorescent Light Bulbs would not emit very much heat.
Those fixtures would look really good on the lights in my living room and bedroom. I would love to own one
Maybe there is a DIY route for this item. I’ll look into it!
FYI There is a DIY route.
See my print of a moon model here: http://www.thingiverse.com/derivative:17191 It measures just shy of 8 inches in diameter and is completely hollow. My print isn’t glow in the dark but I could try it with some glow in the dark ABS I have.
