We Have Had More Than A Few Power Cuts,

over the past few weeks,

so we have bought a small battery powered lamp to avoid bumping into things, but then I saw these, they are hand powered hourglass lamp that draws its energy from grains of falling sand, designed by Danielle Trofe, each fixture pivots around a central point so users can easily rotate the wood-and-glass core, thus refreshing the timer and turning the light back on each time it runs out, what a great and elegant idea that means not having to buy batteries every so often.
