The Firewinder is an eco-friendly garden light with a difference. Most eco-friendly lighting solutions for gardens use solar power to provide the electricity, the Firewinder differs by making use of the wind to illuminate your garden.
The Firewinder is shaped as a corkscrew that through the day will simply turn in the breeze, but once dusk falls whenever a breeze spins the device its LEDs illuminate as it spins providing a beautiful lighting effect for your garden. By using lightweight materials the Firewinder is able to spin to provide lighting from light breezes, 4 – 7 mph breezes are enough to allow it to illuminate its 14 LED lights that are positioned around the edges.
The helical wing of the devices allows it to take advantage of whatever wind is about, designed to spin clockwise the Firewinder gives the illusion that the lights are continually moving up due to its upward spinning helix effect. The clockwise movement is said to be based on Buddhist principles to help evoke good spirits, it certainly provides a aesthetically pleasing lighting effect as the lights continually move up the spiral in a breeze.
The Firewinder has been created using as much recyclable material as possible and has been designed to allow it to be easily dismantled into its recyclable parts once its useful life has come to an end. The Firewinder measures 65 cm (25.6 in) and is supplied with instructions and parts to allow you to mount it quickly and easily to a post or a similar garden item. The Firewinder company also produces a smaller wind powered device called the Firewinder Mini, this Firewinder measures only 41 cm (16.1 in) and has 7 LEDs spaced down the spiral edge.
The Firewinder and the Firewinder Mini provide your garden with enchanting moving illumination after dusk. By using wind to power the devices there is no wiring nor any long term running costs. The glow of the LEDs will brighten in a stronger wind and the movement will increase helping you to visually see the force of the wind in action in your garden. The devices help to bring a different form of eco-friendly lighting to any garden.
The Firewinder costs £49.99 with free delivery, and the Firewinder Mini costs £29.99 with free delivery. Both products have received a significant amount of positive reviews too!
