"The Gravia, as it is called, has 10 LEDs and is powered by a weight which is manually raised once a day and slowly falls to the bottom as the day progresses. There is no power cord in sight. The entire column, measuring just over 4 feet high, gets a soft, diffuse glow as a result."

Kinda' like a Grandfather Clock, which gets "wound" once a week.


Let's hope it has Nichia DS LED's, at least.

Yeah, I know. Problem is, it's not a flashlight. That post is in the wrong sub-forum.

Yes, and this is the wrong forum too. Try "Fixed Lighting"
