The idea is to bring awareness regarding energy consumption. Inspired by the the park meter, the concept evolved to a design with more curved edges. The tree and leaves pattern is a peaceful ornament that diffuses the light.

The circuit and laser cut pieces were put together in a way that it's easy to take it appart.

For ten minutes of light, it costs between five and ten dollars. Of course, the money spent is accumulated at the base of the lamp as a reminder of the high cost of operation.

A survival guide comes with the lamp. The little booklet details all the components of the lamp. It also displays suggestions proposed for alternative uses of the different parts.
