Firewinder® – The Wind Powered Outdoor Light

This product is so cool and will wow your friends this Autumn. If you are going to have some fireworks at home, add some of these to your event.

The Firewinder® Wind-Powered Outdoor Light is a sculpturally designed outdoor light, which harnesses the wind to create a beautiful upward spiralling light every time the wind blows. In the daylight and when the wind isn’t blowing, the product looks unobtrusive. But at night and when the wind blows, it creates a silent wind-powered firework show, illuminating an amazing ‘never-ending’ and completely mesmerising twirl of light.

Tom Lawton inspired and developed this funky garden feature, The Firewinder® in the UK, in the hope that it would help people think about the invisible beauty, awesome power and endless resource of the alternative energies that encircle us. Tom’s dream is that the Firewinder® will be adopted as an international symbol of sustainability throughout the world.

A Buddhist teacher, from Java Indonesia, who took considerable interest in the Firewinder’s creation, made a suggestion to improve the design. His important and insightful snippet was, ‘The Firewinder® must turn clockwise to evoke the good spirits’, so Tom re-engineered the mechanical design and every Firewinder® now spins in a clockwise direction, itself in turn calling forth on the good spirits, every time the wind blows.
