The first innovative bicycle path in the Netherlands will be paved with light stones that will charge during the day and emit light during the evening. The path will run by the home that Vincent van Gogh lived in from 1883-5

I’m really interested in seeing what kind of technology is behind these glowing stones and how long they’ll last.

Found it! It’s a product called Starpath from a UK company called Pro-Teq. No details on durability or how long the UV-absorbing materials will last.

Man, I wish this was around nine years ago when I was in grad school. It would have made on of my outdoor lighting projects much more feasible.

GNR8 new/s: jelly light:

I’ve been looking for this light for a couple of years now.  I found it while I was working at Lightmakers, and we even specc’ed it out for a client’s indoor pool, but by the time I left we still hadn’t been able to track down the manufacturer.
