New life form. Karbon.
…”This is one fabulous faucet. Made of composite materials, it moves into any position like the human arm can, to direct water wherever you want it, at a variety of flows and sprays.
No crappy flex hoses, no leaks, full power, easy, intuitive controls, multiple mounting options. A new concept for faucets. Truly a new life form.

The lights’ flexible body can be directly wrapped around a tree branch with no support required, blending into the surrounding environment.
