Ecology Design Prize

Household Fuel Cell Cogeneration System

Neck Light
BF-973

The BF-973 neck light features a high-intensity, low-power white LED which unlike conventional light bulbs never needs to be replaced. The easy-to-use universal design is worn like a necklace and provides full illumination while leaving both hands free.
