Devices / / December 19, 2019
Candle - frankly lousy lighting source. But if you convert emitted during its combustion heat into electricity and power the LEDs from it, you can get much more light. To be precise, it is about 15-20 times. It is so Luminiser Lantern lantern light brighter than a simple candle-tablet, the heat which it uses to work.
In an unusual lamp thermoelectric principle applies when current is generated due to the electric potential arising due to temperature differences. Candle used as a source of heat, which is converted by means of thermocouples into electricity and feeds the built-in LEDs.
Luminiser Lantern look like a traditional lantern "Die Fledermaus". It consists of a transparent body with a handle and folding legs. Along the perimeter of the cover has a few light-emitting diodes, as well as the rotary unit for adjusting the direction of the light. The bottom compartment is located, which is set lighted candle and a switch for selecting the maximum or economical modes.
The lamp is completely fireproof. You can use it both outdoors and indoors. Lantern is able to deliver the light output of 150-200 lumens, working on the energy of normal tea candles. One such candle-tablet is enough for 5-6 hours of continuous operation.
Order Luminiser Lantern possible on Kickstarter at the price of 76 dollars. Required to run the tool successfully collected, the first lights go to customers in August.
