Glowing praise for levitating light

A hovering light bulb invented by a 19-year-old student from the University of Queensland has been singled out as an exciting industry innovation by an American lighting firm. Chris Rieger’s invention, LevLight, which levitates below a ceiling while glowing, has been viewed more than 330,000 times on YoutTube. It has also been the subject of feature stories in the Daily Mail in Britain and numerous international technology blogs. 

BulbAmerica, the largest wholesale provider of quality lighting fixtures and light bulbs in the US, said they were keen to see how the innovative design might shape up for commercial production. The company said projects such as this will take the lighting industry to the next level.
