A weird, wacky, and not at all practical street lamp!

I recently stumbled across this design concept for a street lamp. Although it is not at all practical, I love the thinking outside the box that came up with this radical design for a street lamp that is powered by the kinetic energy of a swing, and energy harvested from its solar panels.

Kids with time on their hands could be used to charge up the street lamps during the day by swinging back and forth for hours on the swing!

I recently got hold of a sample of a small, adjustable, surface mounted LED spot that is perfect for display cabinets and architectural highlighting.

It was love at first sight! As with all of Precision Lighting’s products it is immaculately proportioned and beautifully made.

It does though really need to be seen and held to be truly appreciated.
