TRENDING INVENTION IN INDOOR LIGHTING

Flyte– The Levitating Light Bulb

Here we are with another scintillating invention, one the overall best inventions of late 2016, the ones that made the world better and smarter.

Regardless of their scope, it is extraordinary and worthy of our curiosity. While this device have struggled for years before seeing reality, its taking less time to show case its relevance in the society. But one undeniable fact about this technology is that it has the potential to shake up industries, and even make our daily existences a little bit easier.

Now what is Flyte?

Flyte is one among the list making the Time’s best inventions of 2016. Flyte is a levitating light bulb which floats over by magnetic levitation and Powered by the air via induction, it does not require any AC or DC source to operate except for air, meaning, Flyte requires no batteries and PHCN Supply.

According to Simon Morris, the man behind this interesting innovation who is also obsessed in not just making the object light the house without battery or power but also making the objects float, The levitating bulb is a combination of inspiration from Nikola Tesla’s Wireless power transfer and magnetic levitation. Some of his other projects are Concrete (an interactive musical skateboard), Nike Air Max 1 Reinvented (a magnetically levitating Nike sneaker) and Invitation au Voyage (a magnetically hovering skateboard).

Based on the promotional description, “this wireless power module transmits about 5V. Moreover, it uses energy efficient LEDs rated at about 50,000 hours, which means operating this device for 12 hours per day will result in a total average lifespan of 11 years! The environment-friendly Flyte comes with a brightness of 60 Lumens and can be used indoor only”.

The device is suspended in the air without physical contact with the base except electromagnetic induction effect. A capacitive touch sensor is present in the base of the wood; therefore, in other to turn ON and OFF the device, a simple and single tap on the surface of the wood is enough to do that.

Hmm! Too good to believe right? But that’s what technology can do, inventing new things that are capable of leaving you in awe.

Moreover, an additional feature of Flyte will make you more attracted to it. You may even charge your phone wirelessly through this wood surface. The built-in induction coil will transform the Flyte into a wireless charging base station as you place your phone on the base.

You can get one of these devices for yourself at a cheaper cost.
The bulbs are available; simply visit their official website for purchase along with additional information.
