This low-key, wind-powered outdoor light seems like an ideal way to keep streets lit and energy green. The blades hang over about a meter on each side, so they're small enough that they could probably fit into an urban setting without hacking up any birds to boot. And even if it does take down a pigeon or two, I'd consider that a perk.

I could almost see these in Manhattan, where it's generally windy enough that they might generate enough energy to stay lit without too much assistance from the grid, while helping to keep the skies pigeon free. Win-win-win.

An outside lamp drawn from our home surroundings. The gently
sweeping Dutch windmills were actually perfect generators of their
own. With that in mind, wee made this lamp. With every breeze it
stores energy, enough to enjoy every summerevening untill
forever. Contemporary vs traditional, art vs functionality.
Shaped by its function the big prop spans over one meter on each
side. It is a self supporting light source that marks the landscape.
