A field of FirewinderTM windlights will transform the hillside at Gas Works Park into a mesmerizing light fantasy for land and water viewers.
 
FirewinderTM is the winner of a 2008 Green Dot Award (held in LA spring 09)
 
These unique lights demonstrate the beauty and clean, green power that wind-light can generate.  FirewinderTM is a 100% wind-powered, decorative outdoor light.
 
Its kinetic spiral of light instantly visua-lizes the amount of energy in the wind at any given moment: the faster it blows, the brighter it glows. A gentle breeze is trans-formed into a delicate upward-spiraling light,
and a strong wind generates a pulsating pillar of light.
