# Eco Block Night Lights The Luminescent Glow Brick Takes the Dark Edge Off Night By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-10-24 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-brick References: [gadgetfind](http://www.gadgetfind.com/glowbrick.html) & [cgets](http://www.cgets.com/Glow-Brick-Night-Light.html) Glow Brick is an [eco-friendly night light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern) made of a real light bulb encased in acrylic resin. The light bulb is impregnated with [glow-in-the-dark material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-water-bottle) that gathers [solar energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-lamp) during the day and releases it as photoluminescence at night. Because of its small size (3" W x 3" L x 4.25" H) the Glow Brick can be placed just about anywhere. It doesn’t need wires or a plug-in, uses no electricity and provides a pleasing greenish glow to help take the dark edge off night. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Night Lights:** The trend of eco-friendly night lights creates opportunities for companies to develop innovative lighting solutions that are energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. - **Solar-powered Lighting:** The trend of solar-powered lighting presents opportunities for businesses to design and produce products that harness solar energy to provide illumination, reducing reliance on electricity. - **Photoluminescent Technology:** The trend of using photoluminescent technology in lighting products opens up possibilities for companies to create innovative and sustainable light sources that do not require electricity. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on the eco-friendly night light trend by offering stylish and sustainable lighting options for customers looking to enhance their homes with energy-efficient products. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can benefit from the solar-powered lighting trend by developing and manufacturing solar-powered lighting solutions that can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. - **Lighting Design:** The lighting design industry can explore opportunities in the development of photoluminescent technology, creating innovative light fixtures and products that utilize the unique properties of photoluminescent materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Daylight-Responsive Brick Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luminescent-bricks.md) - [Illusory Brick Wall Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-brick-lamp.md) - [Functional Illuminated Bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/og-brick-light.md) - [Glowing Power-Free Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nisshoku.md) - [Stone Waste Street Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pebble-street-light.md) - [Antique-Style Building Block Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-ideas-led-lamp.md) - [Playful Brick-Born Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/analog-lamps-1.md) - [Rechargeable Multicolored Dinosaur Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globe-electric.md) - [Glow-in-the-Dark Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-in-the-dark-water-bottle.md)
