# Submerged Lighting Fixtures Auradesign's Submerged Light Bulbs are Simply Captivating By Ian Andrew Panganiban | Published 2013-04-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/submerged-light-bulbs References: [athenna](http://www.athenna.com/an-amazing-light-bulb-designed-to-be-immersed-in-water/athenna/web_design/teoria-de-design/) & [auradesign.cz](http://auradesign.cz/en/) It's a commonly known fact that electricity should never be mixed with water, but the creative minds of AuraDesign are throwing away that belief and have amazingly defied logic by creating these wonderfully [submerged light bulbs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-light). The Brno-based Czech design studio created the lightbulb called ‘Edie’ to create a new means of immersing people in a luminescent field of lights. The light fixture has the appearance of any other regular incandescent lightbulb, but is specifically designed to be immersed in liquids. Once activated, the submerged bulb creates a series of [refracting lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lp-lamp), which are similar to the types of light refraction a person would get when holding a glass filled with water through light. This [creative lighting design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-lighting-designs) amazingly demonstrates what someone's imagination can create. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 49% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Submerged Lighting Design:** The development of submerged lighting design presents an opportunity for companies to enter a niche market for unique lighting fixtures. - **Liquid-immersible Technology:** The creation of liquid-immersible technology creates new opportunities for innovation in the lighting industry, and potentially other industries as well. - **Immersive Light Refraction:** The use of immersive light refraction in lighting fixtures has potential applications in creating unique visual experiences in different settings. ### Where This Applies - **Lighting Design:** The lighting design industry has an opportunity to expand their offerings with submerged lighting fixtures and capitalize on a unique market segment. - **Aquarium Industry:** The aquarium industry can explore the use of submerged lighting fixtures in enhancing the visual appeal of their products and creating unique experiences for customers. - **Interior Design:** The use of submerged lighting fixtures has a potential for disrupting the interior design industry with unique and immersive lighting design solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Otherworldly Lighting Fixture Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/otherworldly-lighting-fixture.md) - [Bubble-Inspired Pendant Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbles-lighting-design.md) - [Dripping Faucet-Inspired Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-light-fixture.md) - [Delicate Illusory Ceiling Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-light.md) - [Physics-Based Artful Light Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aura-collection-1.md) - [Dreamlike Bubble-Shaped Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airshape-lamp.md) - [Dazzling Gradient Lighting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-bulb.md) - [Floating Magnetic Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-mnuca-floating-lamp.md) - [Glowing Tubular Light Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/array-lighting.md)
