River Han winds its way through Seoul and poses a pretty picture. I’m sure a stroll along its banks will be pleasant and refreshing, but designer Kyung Kuk Kim (he’s a resident of Seoul) feels, Han can be beautified in a very inviting and eco-friendly way. He proposes the installation of Wind Lamps on the underbelly of the bridge, across the river. These vertical lamps are fitted with a specialized wind-harnessing generator that powers the LEDs within.
Besides powering the in-built LEDS, the generators collectively have enough capacity to source and power other street lamps and essentials on the bridge. I must say, it’s quite a neat idea that beautifies the city and doesn’t burden the resources.
Designer: Kyung Kuk Kim
I appreciate the thought process of this one. The lamp is beautiful and looks like it would work. But I have my reservations as to the actual output of light and its efficiency after all the grime and bird pup gets in the fixture, unless of course it has a bird zapper. I like it though.
Impressive! I like the concept of coexistence of functionality and stylishness.
i dont think it will work. firstly why does the light need to be under the bridge, cause people dont walk on water and dangling under a bridge would only hinder the boats trying to get under the bridge. also what would the environmental impact be on the fish underneath the bridge when exposed to a constant light source. the wind idea is good but the energy needs to be used elsewhere.
Very Good!!!
nice concept..
This is a good piece of design!! good job.
good piece of accessories..
‘beautifully’ thought, but then, what’s the main purpose of placing it under the bridge?
but it’s nice looking concept..=) cheers

love the eco-friendly concept
i would love to have a couple of these in my patio and terrace!

are there any changes since the time it was announced…is it possible to get some for use?

I love the Idea, its a great concept for GREEN building design and is exceptionally well for landscape lighting…
Try to use a hellical shape, the fan blades could be neon tubes or led fixtures..
Good one
