Philips, Netherlands, develops bio-fluorescent lamps using bacterial lighting

Live bacteria in biological lamps emit green fluorescence.


The use of biogas from such lights is caused by daily domestic waste.

Beijing December 6 news, we usually do everything we can to make pathogenic bacteria away from our homes, but millions of microbes will one day become a natural light source, using the recycling of household waste.

A "biological light" designed by Philips of the Netherlands can provide a warm and cheap light for any residential room. This special lamp, which consists of a series of glass containers, uses the same light-emitting method as the firefly produces bioluminescent light. These glass containers contain bioluminescent bacteria that emit green fluorescence when exposed to biogas. Plant biologist Jim Hasselov said that this model is a major development in the search for light sources that can be self-sufficient.

He said: "It's very attractive because it combines two things that don't really touch at all in the normal situation. I don't think that you want everyone to start cultivating bacteria in their own homes and use them to shine, but As a way to explore this idea, it's quite interesting. Departing from illuminated sidewalks and places like that, those places that need to provide free light are an ideal place to apply this new invention."

Philips believes that the technology can use illuminated plants to illuminate roadside trails. Clive Van-Helden of Philips Design said: “So far we’ve been focusing on energy-saving light bulbs. Now we need to rethink home appliances, rethink how homes consume energy, and how the entire community Sharing resources. Designers are obliged to understand the urgency of this situation and find solutions to human needs.” (Xiaowen)
