Looks very gloomy and dim - not what I want in a light source. Thank you, No. I will be fine with the electrical illumination I have now. Seems to have worked well for what...a CENTURY AND A HALF? What need does this stuff fill?
It's like the glow-in-the-dark kitties they bio engineered. What is the point? It probably has something to do with NOT stepping on the cat when you go for a pee in the middle of the night.
Glowing Bacteria Could Power “Bio-light”
Oh hey…Nature is being awesome again…
(CNN) — This bizarre-looking concoction of glass, liquid and tubes could one day bring a whole new meaning to the idea of natural lighting.
The new “bio-light” concept designed by Dutch electronics company Philips creates light in the same way that bioluminescent living organisms like fireflies and glow worms do.
The phenomenon of bioluminescence is created by a chemical reaction where an enzyme called luciferase interacts with a light-emitting molecule called luciferin.
In the bio-light a collection of hand-blown jars — held in place by a steel frame — contain a measure of bioluminescent bacteria which glow green when fed methane gas — in this case through individual silicon tubes routed through a household waste digester.
Harnessing these biological techniques could help redefine how we consume energy in the home, says Philips.

Wonderful! I'm all for lessening the use of electricity.
It's infinately renewable. All we need are big human sized hamster wheels. I have a radio that is powered by a hand crank.
First your twisty bulbs that require a hazmat team to dispose of, now you give me bio luminescence containing bacteria? Yeah, now tell me that these "green" innovations aren't masking a secret agenda to try to eliminate the human scum from the face of the earth. It's an alien plot, I tell you! Likely thought up by those damned cepholapods!
