Illuminated LEDoorHandle powers up with the twisting motion of the door knob

Finding your way out or into a room during blackouts can get tricky, especially if you aren’t too used to carrying a little torch around. Most of us tend to use those feeble backlights of our mobile phones at times like these too, and if the phone sports a flash, that does double up as a torch. Designers Kun-hee Kim, Kei Shimizu & Nguyen-vu Dang however have come up with a unique design called the LEDoorHandle that seems to be an answer to blackout woes. This one basically works as an illuminated door handle that sports sensors, illuminating when the lights go out. And to power up, these handles generate energy from the twisting motion of the door knob.

And yes, they do work as pretty mood lights too and can add a touch of illuminated aesthetic beauty to your living space!
