“Sustainable Lighting Innovations”

What?

In big cities all over the world there’re governments and companies that are now (2016) searching for sustainable lighting innovations. These sustainable lighting innovations are ranged from sun-reflecting illuminators to intelligent urban lamps. There’re even outdoor lighting solutions that include solar and salt water-powered lanterns along with LED mosquito traps. They’re designed to rid unwanted pests. These products boast dual-purpose, they’re portable and increase energy efficiency. There’re also many indoor lighting solutions; Candle-powered lamps, Self-cooling smart bulbs and Device-charging desk lamps. These solutions are eco-friendly and practical. Another example of an indoor lighting solution is the HJC Design's 'Duality' lamp. This lamp merges aesthetics with sustainability, it allows users to customize a lighting experience that is unique to their needs. There’re also (more) elaborate innovations like the Solmove's solar road panels.

These solar road panels generate renewable energy when cars drive on highways and pavements. In Germany there’re startup's that generate energy with the help of passing cars, they use this power to light up street lights and electric traffic signs.

All those sustainable lighting innovations are designed with environmental responsibility in mind. Their purpose: illuminating cities on a creative, innovative but especially sustainable way! This also makes the streets / cities more safe for participants of traffic and inhabitants.

Why?

These sustainable lighting innovations are made for people who live in big cities and are innovative, creative, aesthetic, modern and care about the environment.

These people also feel the need of being safe, sustainable and comfortable.

I personally think that al these aspects that I just mentions above are the main reason why this signal is attractive / inspiring. The megatrends of Growing cities, Sustainability, Increasing need for comfort and Increasing creative designs on streets are also the reason why this signal is attractive / inspiring.

I see a bright future for this signal, it has a lot potential. In my view is this the perfect way for illuminating streets on a safe, creative, beautiful, innovative and especially sustainable way! It will change the current street scene in a more playful and sustainable one.
