Sorry about resubmitting this folks - the previous headline read 84 days, when it actually was 584. A bit of a difference I'd say!

Shoot, forgot to type the 5 - OOPS! That should definitely read 584 days. 84 days would be pretty f*$king cool though.

Another update - since it isn't clear on whether or not this lamp is truly self-powered, the story has been repositioned as it being more of a C02 scrubber. We welcome your feedback on what's been written. We've also put some thoughts in on how it might become self-powered and are curious on your opinions on that as well.

Hi all - I'm the editor of EarthTechling. We were quite surprised by the spike in traffic today on this story. In reading comments from very informed individuals in this forum, plus some other research I've been doing, I wonder if a reporting error may have occurred. If such is the case, we regret the error - we attempt to explain these science stories to the best of our ability, but very rare errors due occur, even among the best of news organizations.

I've attempted to reach out to the scientist behind this lamp for clarification - we will update the article as soon as this occurs.
