How It Works

Heat Harvesting

The System

The system uses TEGs to turn the heat from a burning candle into electricity.

Energy Flow

The Energy

The energy is stored in lithium batteries. That electricity powers full-spectrum LED grow lights.

Organic Sanctuary

The Growth

These lights let flowers slowly grow for 80 days inside hotel rooms, powered by candlelight.
