I'd be interested to know if this light actually stimulates the growth of the plant in any way. I also think that without any dimming capabilities, that light is going to be pretty bright - unless the Ivy has completely taken over the light. Also, isn't ivy terribly invasive? Can you even grow it indoors? I feel like if you're not careful it could take over your whole house! Any green thumbs want to weigh in here? At any rate, I like where they are going with this concept. We definitely need more in the way of eco-friendly options when it comes to home lighting. Lights out until next time! - Via Yanko Design

Ivy outdoors grows on anything that stands still long enough... Ivy indoors is another kind that, in my case, tends to dry out and get little mite-thingies. This plant doesn't like warm, dry air, so I'm a bit sceptical to this project if the lamp gets a little warm.
Ah yes. That's what I thought. Thanks for clearing up ivy confusion :-) That last picture looks like a different kind of plant entirely, so I guess you don't have to use ivy. Still...there wasn't clear information on the light's purpose...whether it helps the plant or not. It's cool in concept anyway.
My cousin had an ivy powered lamp in the 70's in the US that lasted and lasted. It was a tradional 15 inch high base size with plain ceramic base and the usual gently flared shade. You rubbed any ivy leaf and it came on and rubbed again and it came off. She misted it frequently. I would buy several if I could find them. The cactus shape is interesting but not quite my thing.
