Bamboo Flow lamp


Igendesign, the Budapest-based design firm run by Lorincz and Alberto Vasquez, have invented the bamboo Flow light. This eco-friendly light source looks like a wind chime, and is powered by wind energy. As the structure rotates, it powered led lights at the ends of the bamboo sticks. The designers created this product as an attempt to make South American coasts safer. In many areas there is no electricity so at night, the beaches become abandoned and dangerous. Shedding some light in these areas might help. But I'm concerned that these lamps won't give off enough light. It seems like you would need very strong winds at all times for the lamp to properly spin and disperse an ample amount of light.
