Sand-Powered Hourglass Lamps

The Hourglass Lamps are powered by kinetic energy generated from the falling of sand. This off-the-grid lighting solution illuminates interior environments using LEDs. The floor lamp's lean hourglass is suspended and rotates on a hinge so that it can be flipped with ease to extend the life of the light, while the table lamp can be turned over onto any surface and provides a directional light source. Physical interaction is required to keep the lamps illuminated, this creates a user connection and a greater awareness of the value and finite source of light energy.
