# A Light That Floats LED Floating Lamp By Ayman | Published 2008-02-20 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/index.php/2008/02/20/lighter-than-air-lights/) & [lucschouten.nl](http://www.lucschouten.nl/) The new LED technology is proving to be a catalyst and inspiration for creative new designs. In addition to being energy efficient, LEDs are lightweight and give off a clean, attractive light. Designer Luc Schouten employs this technology in his patent pending **Floating Lamp** design that uses helium filled latex balloons anchored by a small LED base. The design features multiple light effects such as strobe, flash and glow and has a temporary 10 hour lifespan, which is perfect for use at clubs, house parties, discos or other fun events. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.7/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 74% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LED Technology:** The use of LED technology is driving creative and innovative designs in various industries. - **Energy Efficiency:** The focus on energy efficiency is spurring the development of lightweight and attractive LED lighting solutions. - **Portable Lighting:** The demand for portable lighting solutions is leading to the creation of innovative designs like the Floating Lamp. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning and Entertainment:** The Floating Lamp presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the event planning and entertainment industry, offering a unique and portable lighting option for clubs, parties, and other fun events. - **Interior Design:** The use of LED technology, like the Floating Lamp, opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the interior design industry, enabling unique and energy-efficient lighting solutions for homes and commercial spaces. - **Retail and Product Design:** The trend of lightweight and portable lighting, exemplified by the Floating Lamp, creates disruptive innovation opportunities for retail and product designers who can create unique and versatile lighting products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Floating LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poof-light.md) - [Levitating Dynamic Ring Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitos.md) - [Air Balloon-Inspired Lamp Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-balloon-lamp.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [Inflatable Colorful Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeeze-inflatable-lamp.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Balloon-Like Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-blown.md) - [Inflatable Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-lamp.md)
