The [kinetic energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impulse-collection) is then used to light up the built-in lamp to reduce the use of lighting in your household. Designed by Miguel Melgarejo (who also designed the [public urinal](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/axixa-urinal)), the Pillet lamp can also be removed from the toilet roll holder and used as a portable outdoor light source. **Implications** - Consumers are becoming increasingly more interested in [eco-friendly products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern) and services.
