Flyte is a levitating light – essentially, a light bulb which hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air. There are no batteries and its low voltage LEDs makes it completely safe and harmless. The Light Bulb has been considered the most important invention since man-made fire but not so much has changed in design since Edison’s time 135 years ago. Simon Morris, the genius behind Flyte, decided to change this, so he designed a new way to experience light…One which is free from the constraints of gravity.
Flyte combines Tesla’s laws of induction with Edison’s signature bulb. Add some sensors and hardware and Flyte is quite possibly the coolest lamp we have seen. Flyte is the result of years of research using magnetic levitation and induction technologies. It’s a screwless light bulb and will remain floating in the air endlessly. Not only does it levitate, but it will rotate continuously with almost no friction.
Each base is elegantly designed, crafted in Sweden from sustainable oak, ash and walnut. The hardware and electronics consist of an electromagnetic base, sensors and a power adapter. The entire construction is completely battery-free. Moreover, the base can also charge your smartphone through wireless technology. Just place your mobile phone over the base and boom you phone will charge (3rd party receiver is required). If you want your very own Flyte, you had better hurry, the Kickstarter ends on May 22.
