Well, unless your oddly insane, I'm sure you all know what a Light bulb is... so, what if someone could make a Dark Bulb?
Its bassically a light bulb that sucks the light out of a room... yes it takes away light not gives it off.....
So some of you scientifically minded people, have fun trying to figure out how this would work, because I don't have a clue...

.Besides that, I'm not sure how you can make a harmless "dark bulb." I doubt we've got a way to suck up photons that would do practically.

Yeah I am with dre on that one although dre you may be on to somthing on the EMP. If you think about it, all a EMP wave does is knock out the power permantely; However, if you can find a way to control how long that electricity is out you could have a way to make your dark bulb, per say.

Well, if you're speaking of light being transformed into another form of energy, I haven't a clue of that as Physics is something I am definitely weak at. But the only way let's say light gets "sucked" is in the case of Black Holes. The reasons; let's get to them later. Recreating a Black Hole is impossible on Earth, so for now your Dark Bulb won't be something plausible I guess. We can't recreate the gravitational pull to suck in photons traveling at a speed of 3x10^8 m/s so light cannot be "sucked" into anything. If light is bombarded onto the bulb, depending onto the material, it might reflect or retract or scatter, nothing that would make it get "sucked" into anything. We require humanely impossible to recreate gravitational force and then let's say something 'unknown' to have light sucked into it. We don't really know what exactly happens to light inside a Black Hole, so until we can't figure that out, we won't be able to figure this out either. 
That's a pretty tall order saying that it's impossible. A long time ago we used to think alot of things to day were impossible deeming them as "magic" and other such silly things. Why is it impossible the creat a black hole on earth? It's been done to a certain extent, ie, they've been made in small laboratoriess but have only just survived a few miliseconds then vanished into nothingness. However if we can make them to last a tiny bit we could tweak the recipe or use more energy or something and they could last permanently. Theres no reason it can't be done. And if it can't then they would stop trying.

What would the point be in this?
Instead you can turn off lights and close curtains. Simple.

Well I don't think it actually has a use, it just would be a super cool toy. I suppose if you were a criminal or a robber a flashlight with one of these "dark bulbs" would be incredibly useful...
