Space Invaders lamps, but don’t let Taito hear you call them that

space_intruderz_lamps.jpg

There’s a lot in a name. Space Invaders are tiny pixellated blobs of extraterrestrial cephalopod that drop down from the sky, waiting to be spattered by my atomic cannon. Space Intruderz, on the other hand, are Muscatel-swiggin’ homeboys who uncomfortably violate my own personal territorial bubble. Still, when it comes to Taito’s crackerjack team of blood thirsty copyright lawyers, sometimes you have to compromise in the branding scheme of your knock-offs, which is why these otherwise wonderfully geeky floor lamps on sale from Chilean design shop Unison for $48 are named the latter.
