It has a lighting function and can be used either indoors or outdoors. It could even be considered a work of art - a conversation or focal piece. The best thing about the Lightbench in the park or garden is it eliminates the need for additional lighting. It also stops you from accidentally sitting on a rose bush! The LightBench uses RGB LED technology which allows of easy customization of different shades of colours. A fixed hue or an ever changing palette of colors are options. The user can pre-program the colour selection with an easy to use remote control. It is weather resistant, rugged and easy to clean because of its special dirt resistant surface coating. The power consumption is rated at an environmentally friendly 95 watts. The LightBench was designed by Lutz Hopbach of Germany and is manufactured by Frellstedt (Germany). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - 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 - **RGB LED Technology:** Opportunity for businesses to create customizable lighting solutions with RGB LED technology for indoor and outdoor use. - **Art-inspired Functional Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity to create conversation-starting, functional designs that can serve as both lighting and art pieces. - **Weather-resistant Outdoor Furniture:** Opportunity to develop weather-resistant outdoor furniture that integrates innovative lighting solutions and enhances user experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for companies in the lighting technology industry to develop new products utilizing RGB LED technology and customizable lighting features. - **Furniture Manufacturing:** Opportunity for furniture manufacturers to create weather-resistant outdoor furniture that incorporates lighting functionality, providing an innovative and enhanced user experience. - **Art and Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artists and designers to create functional art pieces that combine lighting and furniture, transforming outdoor spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Traffic Light-Inspired Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/traffic-light-bench.md) - [Chic Recycled Aluminum Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bello-bench.md) - [Urban Solar Charging Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia.md) - [Rotating Solar Powered Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eness-1.md) - [Rotating Solar-Powered Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-solarpowered-bench-that-spins-ever-so-slowly.md) - [Modular Mood Seating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumen-chair.md) - [Lantern-Inspired Soft Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fermob-lighting.md) - [Threshold Bench Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torii.md) - [Mood-Setting Adventurous Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guidelight.md)
