In 2012, 100-watt incandescent lights is a factor of history, but have no fear, as there's some good energy-efficient lightbulb tech to light up the way in which. It ranges from compact fluorescent lights to LEDs to halogen lights, and, if Philips has anything related to it, bacteria-powered lights.

Included in its Microbe Home project, that also birthed the urban beehive, Philips go about creating an all natural lighting system according to biological processes. The end result The Bio-light concept.

The machine uses bioluminescent bacteria that eats methane and composted material to make a soft eco-friendly light, not every that not the same as the sunshine released by fireflies and red-colored tide.

The bacteria is located inside a wall of hands-blown glass cells and attached to a meal source in the base through thin plastic tubes. The bacteria's meal source is available in the type of methane gas, that is converted from solid bathroom waste and vegetable trimmings while using methane digester situated in Philips' bio-digester kitchen island--the primary hub from the Microbe Home.

The Bio-light might be "powered on" as lengthy as there have been a way to obtain nutrition, however the resulting light is not vibrant enough to light up a whole room. Rather, Philips sees the Bio-light weight loss of the ambient source of light, in addition to a method to energy evening-time road markings, warning strips for planes and stairs, and much more.

Browse the photo gallery above for a closer inspection only at that awesome and natural light.
