Pink Floyd Light Show Home Kit

The cube uses a custom fixed point 3-D engine for image generation. The Hypnocube 4x4x4 is composed of 64 tri-colored LED's arranged in a cubical lattice. It runs up to 64 three color LED's for a total of 192 individually programable LED"s, with 16 color levels per color channel. So this will equate to about 4,096 colors. The cube can be bought assembled, or the company will send everything needed to develop it the way he or she chooses. The way in which cube translates images are called: visualization, transition, and timing. The cube can be linked to a computer by using a USB. On the Hypnocube website there are a few sourcecodes that can be used to program the cube, or the programmer can alter to develop and add their own image to generate their own code. Also, music can be written into the code to have the LED's perform to the program criteria for each

Ambilight Philips - Aurea TV

Philips will launch their new series of flat screen televisions that emit ambient light. The name of the new televison is "Aurea". The ambient lighting corresponds with the brightness and color of the actual image coming from the televison. During any type of viewing or gaming the light is projected as a soft halo on the wall. Philips says that the Ambilight Spectra, "adds a magical dimenstion to your viewing experience". Within the tv there is 126 LED's placed around the screen. In independent academic research it has been proven that the ambilight has benefits. In 2005, the Lighting Research Centre of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York confirmed Ambilight reduced eyestrain (fatigue) and increased visual comfort, compared to a normal TV. In 2007, the Ludwig - Maximilians University, Munich, found Ambilight to be less taxing on the brain, which increases relaxation and enabling more emotional involvement.

Time Square_Bus Stop

This new proposal for a bus stop, would be located in Times Square (New York), and Designed by Fiori. The driving concept for the design is a system of LED lights. The system within the bus stop implements kinetic color technology to communicate the proximity of the next bus. This specific project was one of the four featured in their entry "The Bus Stops Here" which won Fiori a gold award. Each of the bus stops had their own concept: Bloom, Bend, Mod, and time square. So this is a driver for mass transit, which becomes more efficient through the use of a lighting system that denotes the buses proximity.

Kinetics - Color

The instillation encompasses more than 1,800 LED-based fixtures as part of a renovation for the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The new instillation, according to preliminary operation and testing, the system is expected to consume 25% of the total energy drawn by the previous fixtures. The instillation's range from 25 feet up to 110 feet, the pylons can display custom-designed, color - changing effect.

The pylons are visible to passengers from 3,000 feet. There is a total of 26 kinetic light pylons. A kinetic geometry is illustrated in the pylons was designed to grab ones attention and direct the casual observer.

LED Facade

The Richard Desmond Children Eye Centre is Located in London, and was completed in 2008. And the Design was by Penoyre and Prasad . The building is illuminated on the south facade using RGB color changing lights. In order to project these lights a system of louvers were put into place. The louvers during the day play a role in protecting the structure from solar gain. At night the purpose is that of a "projection screen". The louvers are angle 50degrees to the horizontal to prevent direct glare affecting the occupants. The lighting system is controlled via a DMX 512 controller, using a Light Projects - designed programto create shifting light scenes with an imaganitive mix of subtle colors.

"The lighting is designed to be very comfortable for people inside the building."
