Lumir LED lamp powered by a conventional candle
Lumir C - an amazing LED table lamp, powered by a burning heating candle.
Lighting arises from the thermoelectriceffect. Ideal when you need to save on electricity or suddenly turn it off. The invention is useful on a romantic date, and in nature. In addition, LED light bulbs are more energy efficient than incandescent lamps, and therefore the device will last a long time.
The first thing that comes to mind when meeting withLumir is the second law of thermodynamics, but we are not trying to sell a miraculous device that violates the laws of physics. Lumir does not require an external source of electricity, and only works from a candle because most of the energy released from its combustion is released as heat, not light. Using a material that generates electricity from the difference in temperature between the two elements, the LED lamp allows you to get more light than the candle itself.
Developers offer Lumir as an addition tocandles during emergency situations, when the good old wick in wax is one of the most reliable and inexpensive sources of light. As the developers assure, the power of light from a lamp and a candle is about 60 lumens in total. In order for the LED-light to emit light, it is enough to install a candle in the lower part of the Lumir C. The brightness of the two available Lumir models, according to TX, is 15 and 60 lm, and the price of the product in the pre-order at Kickstarter is $ 59.
The startup also took care of the stylish and attractive design. Each investor who decided to support the project by buying a product, can choose a lamp in any color.
