Why JOI Lamp is a Must Have for Any Eco-Friendly Backyard

You’ve taken all the steps to create an Eco-Friendly backyard: You’ve chosen native plants for your garden, used ground cover like moss and clover instead of grass, you’re harvesting rainwater and you’ve eliminated the need for fertilizers. Summer is here and you’re ready to enjoy your green backyard outdoor oasis.

It’s evening, the sun is finishing the day with a last display of orange and pink to say goodbye. You grab your book - you’re 50 pages in and it’s getting good – and step out onto your back deck to settle into your favorite piece of patio furniture. You open to your bookmarked page and… you can’t make out the words! The sun is almost gone and the light from your kitchen doesn’t stretch to your chair. You have solar powered lights to mark the stairs down to your garden, but they’re just there for safety and don’t shine bright enough for reading. It could be time to head inside unless… that’s right, you have one of the best outdoor lights on the market.

Without any electricity or batteries, the JOI Lamp transforms the heat from one candle to the best backyard LED light. One tealight candle powers 8 LEDs to bathe the surrounding area in soft white light – perfect for reading. Lift the lamp’s roof to angle the light or keep it shut for lower, ambient lighting. The JOI Lamp uses the same technology as our Ecofans (Ecofan home page link) which means you can light up your life without increasing your carbon footprint.

Keeping electricity out of your backyard, in addition to making your backyard eco-friendly, has its perks. Outdoor wiring, for starters, is a pain to install and a pain to maintain. The potential for accidents – shocks or worse - is greatly increased with outdoor electricity, so avoiding it altogether can be a lifesaver. Also, there’s the cost factor. You can save a few dollars by going wire-free in your backyard and studies show that a green lifestyle can boost your happiness.

The JOI Lamp can be one of the best green products for your backyard. It’s a weatherproof outdoor lantern, meaning it’s ready to withstand any number of summer storms, it’s portable, and of course, going green never looked so good.
