About Ghostfire

Ghostfire genetically engineers bioluminescent plants to enhance natural lighting and reduce the need for artificial lighting. Many spaces are crowded with wires, bulbs and other electrical infrastructure that can make a space feel less natural. The actual electric lighting produced can be further disruptive, and add to light pollution. Ghostfire leverages natural lighting in organic forms by modifying plants for optimal lighting conditions in a given space. Plants can be altered for light intensity, color and illumination times, with variations across species. In time, they can also be modified for greater air purifying qualities and even signal if dangerous chemicals are presence in the area. All of this is possible without consuming outside power besides the sun.
