Anybody know where I can buy a Traffic Light system like this?

Oh, and it is us, the developers, that want this, it is not imposed by management. If it does "wear off" we'll change it for something else.

If it was management then you'd each have one of these by your desk... when it goes red it's time to clear your desk. Paid for under "improved efficiency".
 
X10 power controller + three suitably coloured lava lamps + a few lines of script code = win, and it looks pretty too.

I'm not joking either - some teams have actually done this. We thought about it but since most of the team is hundreds/thousands of miles away from the integration server (which lives next to my desk), seeing the lights would have been rather difficult, not to mention expensive to run. :)

We did consider 3 lamps, but not lava lamps. That'll be cool. Is there a timer to prevent over-heating of said lava lamps?
 
wouldn't the lamps need to be lit for quite some time for the wax to melt and the lava to flow hough?
