The Invisible Streetlight Concept

Posted on August 3, 2008 by Matt Embrey in Concept+Design

The Invisible Streetlight, from the 2008 IDSA Awards, is a very beautiful concept.  There’s not much info but they do explain that it is solar powered and requires very little material to make because instead of using a support pole, the light has a flexible branch that is wrapped around the branch of a street-side city tree.  I would have to assume that it will utilize LED lights with photovoltaic cells on the topside.  Looking at the application in the picture I can see how a strong wind could displace it, but they could attach it directly to the trunk for a little more stability.
