# Auto-Dimming Sun Lights The Energy Efficient Drift Light Bulb Mimics the Sun's Setting Patterns By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-05-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drift-light-bulb References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3030201/wanted/a-smarter-light-bulb-that-mimics-the-setting-sun) & [drift-light](http://drift-light.com) If you struggle with sleep issues, the Drift light bulb is the natural solution. From Saffron, the energy efficient light bulb mimics the sun's setting patterns, which results in you getting a better night's sleep. The high efficiency lighting gives off a more gentle light that is indistinguishable from incandescent bulbs. An aluminum heat sink prevents them from getting too hot, unlike traditional light sources. The patent pending control function allows the Drift Light bulb to automatically dim and can be easily set using your normal light switch. The Edison base fits standard fixtures as well, but only uses 7 watts of electricity. Whether you use the Drift Light in a floor lamp to create ambiance or in the ceiling so you don't need to worry about turning it off when you go to sleep, the bulb is a healthy and eco friendly alternative. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Energy Efficient Lighting:** The trend towards energy efficient lighting provides opportunities for disruptive innovation in developing more sustainable and eco-friendly lighting solutions. - **Natural Sleep Solutions:** The trend towards natural sleep solutions opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating products that mimic natural light patterns to improve sleep quality. - **Smart Lighting Control:** The trend towards smart lighting control presents opportunities for disruptive innovation in designing automated and easily adjustable lighting systems that enhance user experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Lighting:** The lighting industry can explore disruptive innovation by developing more energy-efficient and sustainable lighting solutions like the Drift Light bulb. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can embrace disruptive innovation by creating natural sleep solutions that improve sleep quality, such as light bulbs that mimic natural light patterns. - **Home Automation:** The home automation industry can tap into disruptive innovation by advancing smart lighting control systems that offer automated and customizable lighting experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleep-Enhancing Bedtime Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loftie-lamp.md) - [Biodynamic Workstation Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daylight-rhythm-task-light.md) - [Circadian Bedside Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-lamp.md) - [Stress Reduction Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnest-table-lamp.md) - [Sunlight-Mimicking Panelled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunne-lamp.md) - [Programmable Health-Focused Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bios-skyview.md) - [Circadian Rhythm Support Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artemis-light.md) - [Dazzling Gradient Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb.md) - [Sleep-Aiding Tranquil Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-player.md)
