# Renewable Ice-Powered Lamps The 'Frost Light' is an LED Lamp Powered by Melting Ice By Ell Smith | Published 2017-10-03 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frost-light References: [edhv.nl](https://www.edhv.nl/weblog/thermodynamics/) & [edhv.nl](https://www.edhv.nl/portfolio/) As consumers become more environmentally conscious, designers are continuing to seek methods of harnessing [clean energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soli), which is why Edvh Studio created the 'Frost Light' -- a lamp that's powered by [melting ice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20). The lamp is made of four components which work in harmony with one another to produce light. The LED light rests on top of a block of ice, and as the ice melts, it runs down a metal plate, while the temperature difference generates electrical energy. As it melts, the water is collected in a vessel, which serves as a mold so the process can be repeated. This lamp serves as a practical example of how [renewable energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planto) can be accessed from unexpected places. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Clean Energy Innovation:** Renewable energy can be accessed from unexpected places, encouraging more clean energy innovation. - **Sustainable Lighting Solutions:** Sustainable lighting solutions will continue to be in high demand as consumers become more environmentally conscious. - **Efficient Energy Use:** Efficient energy use is becoming more important as we seek to reduce our carbon footprint. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Industry:** There's an opportunity for the lighting industry to expand into sustainable and renewable lighting solutions. - **Clean Energy Industry:** Businesses in the clean energy industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative and sustainable energy solutions. - **Home Goods Industry:** The home goods industry can benefit from creating innovative and eco-friendly products that cater to environmentally-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glowing Power-Free Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisshoku.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Ice Cream-Resembling Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-serve-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Solar Portable Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-lamp.md) - [Sunlight-Mimicking Panelled Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunne-lamp.md) - [Saltwater-Powered Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litepulse-ecolantern.md) - [Naturally Inspired Digital Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp.md) - [Wireless Solar-Powered Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-lights.md) - [Plant-Based Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantbased-lamp.md)
