# Insect-Powered Illuminators 'Home of Firefly' Uses Live Fireflies to Make Light By Michael Hines | Published 2010-12-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-of-firefly References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/home-of-firefly-beautiful-and-natural-outdoor-light-from-fireflies/) I am really digging this [outdoor lamp concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camping-lantern-1) from design trio Li Qiong, Qin Duyin and Peng Junjie dubbed 'Home of Firefly.' 'Home of Firefly' is a [glass lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bamboo-forest-glss) that provides its light with fireflies. Simply fill the 'Home of Firefly' with firefly feed and watch as your backyard or garden is lit up the way nature intended. I could see these lights being a hit in the summer when long and hot nights are spent relaxing on the patio or back porch.
