Firebug Liquid Light

Hong Kong born designer Richard Choi has amassed quite a few accolades early in his design career, and with products like this one, it is easy to see why. 

The Firebug light is ingenious. Taking two equal sized bottles, you fill one with clean water and leave the other empty. The Firebug connects them spout to spout. Just like an hourglass, the water flows from one bottle to the other and it is this momentum that lights up the Firebug.

According to Richard, one 2-litre bottle can provide up to 15 minutes of continuous light output. Then you simply turn the bottles over to start the process all over again.

There are so many ways that this can be useful. On the one hand, providing light without batteries or plug-in power has obvious benefits. Looking deeper into specific scenarios; imagine if it were a children’s reading light, giving just enough time for one last story before drifting off to sleep…
