Light Fixtures That Runs On Bacteria ?
As we phase out incandescent lights for compact fluorescents, we save energy but take the risk of mercury pollution (there’s heavy metals galore in CFLs). What if we could light our homes with biology?
This is a photo of the Philips concept microbial lamp powered by the chemistry of biological luminescence. It’s part of Philips’ “Microbial Home” future concept, which also includes urban beehives and bacterial waste recycling.

The Acid Tests were a series of parties held by Ken Kesey around the San Francisco Bay Area in the mid 1960s, dimensioneering with the use, experimentation and advocacy of LSD. It was a reference to an old ‘acid test’ used by miners in the 1850s testing the purity of gold. When the parties went public, posters read “CAN YOU PASS THE ACID TEST?” - further popularized in Tom Wolfe’s 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Grateful Dead performances were commonplace, along with black lights, strobe lights, and fluorescent paint. The Acid Tests are notable for their influence on the LSD-based counterculture of the San Francisco Bay Area and subsequent transition from the beat generation to the hippie movement.
