Self-sufficient lighting column becomes a sculpture for modern cities

With rapid growth of the urban population, we need some self-sufficient or renewable sources of energy to meet the power requirement of cities spreading thick and fast all over the world. Addressing the issue, Portuguese designer Hugo Silva has created an autonomous lighting column that combines LEDs and solar panels to illuminate the streets at night. The new lighting column not only accumulates sustainable power during the daytime but also at night, thanks to built-in motion and light sensors, generating adequate energy to keep glowing all through the night. Moreover, the self-sufficient lighting column presents a clean and ergonomic design to become an outdoor sculpture, enhancing the physical environment of modern cities.
