Save light bulbs. Throw them away. You just need sun light. Yeah, right, and why would you do that? You live at the first floor of a 10-floor-high building and you can’t get enough sunlight just for your breakfast.

Save light bulbs we tell you ― by showing you the ‘Bjork’ light transporter manufactured by Parans. The Swedish company engineered a clever system of rooftop solar panels that collects daylight and transmits them inside a house through fiber optics cables. As fiber optics are flexible enough to fill in every position, the system can include them in almost every type of building.

One eventual suggestion would be to bundle a solar panel to this system. When the sun gets away, you turn on the light and transmit into the same fiber optics. As we told us, save light bulbs.
