If you invent an anti-lamp to suck light from a room, I'll take two. Will be very useful for sleeping in rooms where the curtain is not light tight. An anti-speaker would be good too.

You could turn it on in the dark, by pointing a flashlight at it q-;

  Are you sure? yes | no

Yes it is posible :)  But if you have flashlight .... Antilamp is useless ;)
