Secondly, there is no waste as with other light sources. Sandra Rey founded a company <em>(Glowee),<\/em> a start-up whose products are based on light from bioluminescent bacteria. <em>And this is how it works:<\/em><\/p><p>\u201cGlowee\u2019s lighting products incorporate a tank of this bacteria-laced seawater connected to an air pump that keeps the oxygen flowing; so, as long as you regularly add yeast for food, the bacteria should keep glowing<em> for as long as you need them to. Glowee\u2019s products are also designed to connect to urban water management systems \u2013 so, should something like a temperature shock kill the bacteria, the contents of the tank can be flushed into the environment where the dead bacteria will degrade naturally. Then, to replace the light, just add seawater, yeast, and a few bacteria and wait a few hours for them to grow.\u201d*<\/em><\/p><p><em><strong>The \u201cliving light\u201d has been tested in the small town of Rambouillet for several years<\/strong> <\/em>and has been well received there. Glowee is working on optimizing lights in terms of duration, durability, and other applications such as shop windows, illuminated advertising, etc.<\/p><p><em><strong>And as a nice side effect this light is also very beautiful &#8211;<\/strong><\/em> turquoise, not cold, not dead, a bit of sea light in the city.
