The 'Lumir K' lamp is a thermal energy-powered illumination solution that aims to provide an off-grid way to keep a space well-lit when spending extended periods of time outdoors.
Powered by cooking oil, the lantern works to transform the heat from the small flame into energy for the ultra-bright LEDs that are integrated into the top section. Any kind of cooking oil that is kept on hand can be used including olive or coconut to maximize the compatibility within existing homes and equipment rosters.
The 'Lumir K' lamp uses just five milliliters of oil per hour and will provide illumination that's 100-times brighter than candles. This is perfect for avid campers, but also shows promise for those in developing nations where electricity access remains scarce.
