Pablo LIM Table Lamp

LIM is a revolutionary ultra-slim LED task light that is as fun to use as it is functional. LIM's "L" shaped arm discreetly conceals an array of 15 high-powered LEDs and utilizes a magnet to attach to its base unit. The base unit allows for up to 5" of height adjustment and 90 degrees of tilt and can accept up to 2 arms at a time for maximum light coverage. LIM also offers a hi/low/off light control at the touch of a single button.

Downside of LED

LED life, range of colors, durable, small size and design flexibility, etc. " However, no matter how passionate we are for this green energy source, we have to face the truth that its energy efficiency advantage can cause problems..... .....

A Post from engadget said: A number of cold weather American states are reporting their dismay at finding out that LED traffic lights are so energy efficient that they do not produce enough excess heat to dissipate any snow that covers them. It turns out, perhaps in a homage to bad engineering everywhere, that the inefficiency of incandescent light bulbs was previously relied upon to keep traffic signals unimpeded. The new LEDs do not achieve the same effect, which has resulted in a few accidents and even a death being blamed on obstructed traffic lights.

Sorry for the people who encountered the traffic accidents and this indeed proved the old saying everything has two sides. And for designers, this is a reminder to consider variety circumstance including extreme conditions during design process.

Interactive Design with LED

Yes! Paint with LED Lighting! That sounds exciting! But, not work that way exactly...

New York based sweatshoppe has presented one of their interactive installations on the street which used green LEDs that work in conjunction with a camera next to a projector which is programmed with software that tracks its movements. The software then outputs the X-Y position of the roller projecting a textured video image of the strokes the duo are drawing on a wall.

To make it more straightforward here is one of the video clips:

This is an absolutely wonderful way to display art work, glow the dark area of the city and highlight the architectures… with the cooperation of LED, camera and projectors! And today is Valentine’s day, which inspired me that this is not a bad idea to send out love message…Don't be afraid to be romantic and innovative ~~
