# Levitating Lightbulbs The Flyte Lightbulb is Powered by Air By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2015-04-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyte References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flyte/flyte-levitating-light) & [flyte.se](http://www.flyte.se/) The Flyte lightbulb is an innovative design that's currently seeking funding through a [Kickstarter campaign](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flyte/flyte-levitating-light). What makes this design so unique is its freedom; rather than being shackled to a space, the Flyte lightbulb is able to levitate through the air. Requiring no batteries, this floating lightbulb is able to complete this remarkable feat through induction. Each Swedish-designed bulb is accompanied by a base, made from [sustainable sourced ash, oak or walnut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp). The lighting itself is energy-efficient LEDs rated at approximately 50,000 hours -- a figure which translates into a whopping 12 hours a day for 11 years! The Flyte is ultimately a product that is durable, eco-conscious and memorable, offering a surreal, gravity-defying experience for consumers who aren't satisfied with their current lighting solutions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Levitating Lightbulbs:** Developing levitating lightbulbs using innovative design and induction technology. - **Sustainable Lighting:** Creating energy-efficient LED lightbulbs with long lifespan and eco-conscious materials. - **Memorable Consumer Experiences:** Providing consumers with surreal and gravity-defying lighting solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting:** Opportunity for lighting companies to explore innovative designs and technologies. - **Sustainability:** Potential for sustainable materials and energy-efficient products in the lighting industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** Chances to create unique and memorable experiences through gravity-defying products such as levitating lightbulbs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Levitating Dynamic Ring Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitos.md) - [Hat-Like Fabric Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-lamp.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Floating LED Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poof-light.md) - [Glowing Power-Free Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisshoku.md) - [3D-Printed Mood Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orbyt.md) - [Chic Saucer-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-in-tight-light-fixture.md) - [Space-Inspired Hovering Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levitating-pen-30.md) - [Candle-Inspired Lightbulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velaflame.md)
