Glow Brick in Blue – Suck Design

If you are a regular visitor to Eco Trend Spotter then you may know that we do like eco lighting solutions. We have already reviewed the Sun Jar from Suck Design, which is one of our favourites items (hence it’s on our Christmas List). Now we have the Glow Brick. 

The mysterious optical effect is caused by light diffracting in the tiny space between the glass of the light bulb and the resin, the space forms when the resin shrinks by a tiny amount during the production possess. The polished surface gives a jewel like quality to the object.

In a darkened room or at night the Glow Brick comes to life with a tranquil and subtle glow emanating from the pigment inside the light bulb.

Just to let you know the technical term for glow-in-the-dark is “photoluminescence” this is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. No mains power or batteries are required.
