What is Bamboo Lighting ：
Bamboo lighting is a process of drilling holes in bamboo and inserting light bulbs or LEDs inside. Bamboo light is made by drilling a hole in bamboo and inserting a light bulb or LED into the hole. Bamboo is mainly used for lighting, and is made of bamboo with a diameter of 9 cm or more, such as moso bamboo. Bamboo has long been used as a lighting device with candles and other objects placed inside. In some cases, bamboo is simply cut, while in other cases, the outer skin is peeled off or otherwise processed. Bamboo lights are used to light the way on the road, at festivals such as shrines and temples, and for personal interior decoration.
