TILA is a brand of environmentally symbiotic lighting that was developed under the design concept of creating lighting that presents natural scenery in an even more beautiful and lavish way.

“DROOP”, one of the products that symbolizes the TILA brand, was designed with the image of a firefly floating on the wind and emitting light without restraint.

Based on their proprietary “Micropower Harvesting” technology (which generates electricity using soil or water as the medium without the need for any external power supply or battery), all products released under the TILA brand inherently possess the ability to autonomously emit light when simply inserted into the ground or into water.
As the focus on SDG expands throughout society, it is our aim to enrich the nighttime ambience of the various spaces in our daily lives by productively utilizing the micropower that is latent within Nature.

DROOP brings a rhythm and movement of light, overflowing with life, to natural environments, parks, gardens, amusement parks and other everyday locales that we are all familiar with.

From children to adults, DROOP fascinates all who see it with its unique presence that effectively blends in with Nature.
