concept lamps
These are set ups and concepts for testing designs.
Teak LED desk lamp
A fully developed lamp using a 5x5 LED array, with a teak base and brass fittings. Inside the base is an AC to DC power supply for powering the 10 watt array. Both the lamp head and arm swivel.
LED floor lamp
Just some renders of a mockup.
colloidal suspension
Yep, a lava lamp. I always wanted to make one with my own mixture, so I found a recipe on the net somewhere and tried it out. It took me about two tries to get the mixture right, and I think it turned out well. I forget the exact mixture, but I used a mix of alcohol (main ingredient), beeswax (the solid melty stuff), and some turpentine. I think there is 65 watt bulb in the coffee can.
This thing gets hot. Make sure the glass is well tempered. I tried it with a large pickle jar and it shattered from the heat, dripping alcohol and wax all over the bulb, shorting my wiring. Whoops.
condensation lamp
I always liked looking at rain drops trickle down the window on a rainy day, so I thought why not try to highlight that moment. Here I setup a test to see how I will go about this. On top of the beaker is a convex lense, and when the room reaches a certain temperature the water collects on the lens nicely. Its acting somewhat like a simple distiller right now.
