# Shady Desk Lights The LED Shade Lamp is a Light Bulbless Illuminator By Michael Hines | Published 2011-05-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/led-shade-lamp References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/05/04/laced-with-led/) Designer Peter Bristol is attempting to bankrupt the light bulb manufacturing industry with his LED Shade Lamp. The LED Shade Lamp is a lamp that gets its light from its *shade*. How wacky is that? The LED Shade Lamp illuminates with the LED lights mounted into its shade. The little LEDs light up, providing a surprisingly substantial amount of light. The design is quite brilliant and I am honestly surprised as to why it has not been done sooner. The [minimalist styling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flat-light) is sure to excite modern design fans, and the [eco-friendly](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-lamp) undertones (no light bulb, less waste) are sure to get the vote of the green team. Talk is cheap, so check out the LED Shade Lamp here and decide for yourself just how great a [lamp with no light bulb](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foreshadow-table-lamp) truly is. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.0/10 - Popularity: 12% | Activity: 9% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Minimalistic Design:** The LED Shade Lamp's minimalist style presents an opportunity for companies to appeal to modern design fans. - **Eco-friendly Lighting:** The lamp's eco-friendly promise of less waste via no light bulbs offers disruptive innovation opportunities for companies that offer green solutions. - **Light Bulbless Illumination:** Innovation in light bulbless illumination through LED technology presents opportunities for companies in the lighting industry. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Lighting Industry:** Companies in the lighting industry can explore materials, technology and design to create more efficient products with no light bulbs. - **Interior Design Industry:** Opportunities exist for the interior design industry to create and showcase innovative products that embrace minimalist design, and promote eco-friendly light sources. - **Environmental Industry:** Companies in the environmental industry can find more ways to innovate sustainable products that meet consumers' desire for green-friendly lighting. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Weighted Multi-Position Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-desk-lamp-design.md) - [Space-Saving Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacesaving-desk-lamp.md) - [Simplistic Angular Desktop Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linear-table-lamp.md) - [Fashionable Flicker-Free Desk Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shlight-led-desk-lamp.md) - [Minimalist Tech Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delite-20.md) - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Multifunctional Desk Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-boring-lamp.md) - [Sleek Contemporary Metal-Encased Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/library-lamp.md) - [Compact Elaborate LED Smart-Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cup-lamp.md)
