When the lamp is gently shaken, the bacteria in the water mix with oxygen and oxidize to emit light. All the fixtures in your home may work on a similar principle, and when you turn on the power, the bulb will emit light. But incandescent, fluorescent, and LED lights are not comparable to bioluminescent lamps powered by bacteria. Although this lamp called Ambio is not the most practical way to illuminate, it is one of the coolest luminaires. Unfortunately, this bacterial lamp is not currently available as a real product. The research project was carried out by Teresavan Dongen, a graduate student at the Einhorn School of Design in the Netherlands. The luminaire consists of a glass tube filled with artificial seawater and a bacterial community collected from the octopus. These organisms are capable of producing light by means of a biological enzyme called bacterial luciferase. Luciferase is an oxidase, so it requires oxygen to work. The glass tube is suspended from a steel frame with a huge weight attached to one end. As long as the user pushes the heavy object, the tube will swing back and forth, which will cause the bacteria in the water to mix with oxygen to oxidize, thus emitting light. This strange blue light disappears when the bacteria in the tube stop shaking. Even if such a luminaire is not practical, there are probably many people who are willing to pay for such a bioluminescent luminaire. However, the real limitation of such a luminaire is that the closed ecosystem in the tube only allows the bacteria to survive for about three days. After the bacteria die, the enzyme responsible for luminescence will degrade rapidly. vanDongen is now working with scientists to extend the life of bacteria in the lamp so that the technology can be used in real life.
