The streetlight that has been designed has drawn its influences from many different places. When looking for inspirational forms for the light, research was done looking into biomimicry. The Angler fish was looked at as it has a very unique form with distinct features. One feature that I drew from as influence was the lure that the fish has coming from the top of it head. Depending on the species the way the lure looks changes. The specific one I chose was the Bufoceratias wedli as its lure is the longest of them all and has a beautiful organic curve to it. This curve served as the starting point for the design. Through ideation and looking at the end design as being aimed more the future a more geometric feel was added to the design. This then evolved into the final shape which is an even combination of organic and geometric shapes. This creates a visually soft as well as appealing streetlight.

The light fixture or head also had to have the same feel as the stem and base. This meant that it had to be quite slim and small but still large enough to function properly as the streetlight. The form therefore had to be mostly organic with some geometric guides to stick to the overall look of the light. After a few shapes one was chosen and refined to create the final head. This form was created from looking at the function of the light as well as the theme or overall influence. Through the combination of these themes, the final head was created. It has a split light cover as the LED’s are arranged in a way to create the maximum distribution of light on the surface below. There is also a small glass housing in the front which houses the advanced PIR motion sensor that dims the light by 30% when there is no movement in the area.

The base of the light is made from concrete in order to create a strong support for the rest of the light to connect to. The design of the base went through much iteration as it had to adhere to the overall look of the streetlight. The final design was chosen as it created interest to the base of the streetlight as well as added to the overall modern look of the streetlight. Pavegen Systems is a technology company that has developed paving slabs to convert energy from people's footsteps into electrical power. A typical tile is made of recycled polymer, with the top surface made from recycled truck tires. Power is generated when a footfall compresses the slab by about 5 mm (0.2 in). The exact technology is a secret, but PaveGen officials have said it involves the piezoelectric effect and induction by copper coils and magnets. Pavegen says each footfall generates up to 7 watts at 12 volts DC, enough to run an LED street lamp for 30 seconds.
