# Footstep-Powered Lampposts The 'EnGoPLANET' Street Light Design is Headed to Las Vegas By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-03-11 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/street-light-design References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/engoplanet-solar-kinetic-street-light/42249/) & [engoplanet](http://www.engoplanet.com/) Cities are one of the worst offenders when it comes to energy consumption, so the 'EnGoPLANET' street light design is intended to help offer a touch of sustainability. Featuring a kinetic and solar energy design, the 'EnGoPLANET' lampposts are powered by the foot traffic of pedestrians and the sun. Currently in works to be implemented throughout Boulder Plaza in Las Vegas, the 'EnGoPLANET' lampposts are designed with aesthetic and purpose in mind. The LED technology within the street light design allows a wattage output of between 25 and 75, while motion sensors can also be implemented for further energy savings. Aside from this, air quality sensors, thermostats, video cameras and much more can be integrated into the 'EnGoPLANET' lamppost to make them future-ready. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Kinetic Energy Street Lights:** Using foot traffic as a renewable energy source for powering street lights. - **Solar-powered Street Lights:** Using solar energy to power street lights, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources. - **Smart Lampposts:** Integration of various sensors and technologies for increased functionality and future-readiness. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Urban Infrastructure:** Opportunity for urban planners and city developers to implement sustainable lighting solutions. - **Renewable Energy:** Innovative application of kinetic and solar energy in the lighting industry. - **Smart City Technology:** Potential for companies specializing in smart city solutions to create integrated lampposts with advanced functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Street Lamp Charging Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lamppost-ev-charger.md) - [Outdoor Lamp Post Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-lamp-post-light.md) - [Artistic Lamppost EV Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voltpost.md) - [Modular Urban Light Poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shift-pro.md) - [Urban Solar Charging Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perovia.md) - [Wireless Solar-Powered Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarpowered-lights.md) - [Light Pollution-Reducing Island Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Light Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geolectric-lantern.md) - [Water-Powered Planter Smart Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planto.md)
