Sustainable Street Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Double Life Concept Lights Up the Street Using Renewable Energy

— November 20, 2010 — Eco
Designer Woojin Kim's Double Life concept street light is designed to light up the streets by using renewable energy. The proposed street lights are wind-powered and double as a bench to be used by the public.

The street light features onboard solar-powered sensors, enabling the screw pillar to lower down the bench during the day. In the night, the srew pillar moves up the bench safely without causing any harm to the bench users.

Implications - Sustainability is not simply about preserving the biosphere, it's also about obsolescence. The more frequently a customer has to replace his or her belongings, the less likely that customer will return to a company. Businesses that produce long-lasting, irreplaceable goods will garner the devotion of cost-minded consumers and maintain relationships with loyal customers.
Trend Themes
1. Renewable Energy Street Lights - There is a growing trend towards using renewable energy sources for street lights, presenting opportunities for companies to develop innovative solutions in this space.
2. Multifunctional Street Lights - Street lights that serve multiple functions, such as doubling as benches, are becoming more popular, indicating a need for innovative designs that optimize space and functionality.
3. Sustainable Urban Design - The concept of sustainable urban design is gaining traction, creating opportunities for businesses to contribute to environmentally-friendly city planning and infrastructural development.
Industry Implications
1. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can benefit from the demand for sustainable street lights by developing and providing efficient and cost-effective renewable energy solutions for public lighting.
2. Outdoor Furniture - The outdoor furniture industry can explore opportunities to integrate multifunctional street lights with benches, creating innovative and space-saving urban furniture designs.
3. Smart City Solutions - Companies specializing in smart city solutions can take advantage of the trend towards sustainable street lights by developing technologies that optimize energy usage, sensor integration, and urban infrastructure management.
