Need something to light up those dark winter days and nights? Look no further. For this week's giveaway, we have a Playbulb Sphere from MiPow, a maker of mobile accessories and smart lights.

The customizable orb glows in millions of colors, which can be changed with a quick shake or tap, or wirelessly via a free app for iOS and Android. The Sphere is water resistant and can be used both indoors and outdoors. (Watch CNET's Megan Wollerton play with the Sphere at this year's CES in the video below.)

So what do you have to do win a Playbulb Sphere worth $49.99 of your own? Read the rules below and you'll be ready to roll (yeah, pardon the pun).
