Electricity-Free Lighting

These Deceptive South Korean Light Bulbs Glow Without Drawing Power

— November 18, 2013 — Art & Design
Thanks to South Korean hobby:design, this innovative light bulb design allows for electricity-free lighting. The Luminous Bulb glows without electricity due to its silicone construction and luminous pigment. The light source was formed to resemble typical light bulbs. As an added bonus, the powerless light fixture does not heat up, making it extremely adaptable.

The electricity-free lighting was conceived to give off a science-fiction theme in your home. The versatile fixtures can be grouped together to form a Luminous Bulb chandelier. The glow in the dark bulb can also be screwed into a socket on its own. This lighting is ideal for people who enjoy a futuristic furniture look as well as for the carbon footprint conscious or those interested in the intersection between art and science.
