# Ecological Reminder Light Bulbs Conceptual 'Light of Hope' is Made from the Remains of Rainforest By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-10-04 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-of-hope References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2017/10/04/the-light-of-hope/) Millions upon millions of acres of rainforest are destroyed each year, so the conceptual 'Light of Hope' light bulb looks to draw attention to this fact, as a reminder of the impact we're having on our environment. The bulb features an [ornate design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso) that is created using the charcoal that has been leftover from the burning of rainforests. More people are becoming aware of our practices when it comes to deforestation, which has prompted a stronger focus on designers who are looking to outline these issues in the work they produce, whether conceptual or real. The 'Light of Hope' light bulb is an example of this, and is the design work of Mitja Schneehage, Michael Wilde and Sofia Christidou. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 84% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Deforestation Awareness:** Creating products that highlight the impact of deforestation on the environment. - **Conceptual Environmental Design:** Designers focusing on creating conceptual products that address ecological issues. - **Upcycled Materials:** Using leftover materials from environmentally harmful practices to create new products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Lighting:** Exploring innovative lighting solutions that raise awareness about environmental issues. - **Design:** Encouraging designers to incorporate sustainable and thought-provoking concepts into their work. - **Environmental Conservation:** Developing strategies and products that promote conservation and protection of natural resources. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ecological Dual Lampshade Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-light.md) - [Hollow Candle-Like Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lampe.md) - [Incense-Mimicking Table Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/incense-lamp.md) - [Glowing Organic-Waste Sustainable Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanova-terra.md) - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [Light Pollution-Reducing Island Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-lamp.md) - [Recycled Lighting Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys-collection.md) - [Utensil Waste Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nytt-lys.md) - [Naturally Inspired Digital Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magma-lamp.md)
