Bubbles: The Future of the Lightbulb?

Although there are many lightbulb option open to the smart consumer , they all apportion one crucial trait : they ’re all solid , and do n’t bolt down unlike this house of cards light .

TheSurface Tension Lamp , designed by Italian designer Spazio Rossana Orlandi , replace the lightbulb ’s drinking glass with liquified urine . An light-emitting diode lamp shines through a bubble as it lucubrate , chew over light and creating luminescence . When the bubble pops , a new one takes its place . Over the trend of the LED lamp ’s lifespan , 3,000,000 bubbles will expand and explode .

Of of course , this is n’t the most practical idea . These lamps do n’t depend like they give off that much light ; just a hazy glow . And I ’m sure all that liquidness ends up somewhere after the bubble pop . So you probably would n’t want to put this over , say , a dining way board . But if you did , you ’d certainly have something to talk about during your dimly lit repast . [ Architizer ]
