Philips Lighting Ambience Range

koibito — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:17:21 +0000

To celebrate Dubai Summer Surprises, Philips launches its ‘ambience’ range of household products that light up from within, through the tiny, embedded, white and colored LEDs that are designed to add your personal touch when setting a home’s ambiance, serving food and drinks, or accentuating decorative items like flowers.

The ‘ambience’ products have a radiant glow that transforms any object or room, to reveal new details with a magical feel, fascinating effects, and an enchanting aura of light.

The collection consists of accessories such as a cooler, coasters, vase, platter and table lights that can be purchased separately. Each is the perfect conversation piece, letting you set the mood in a unique way, depending on the occasion, which can be from fun with friends, to a special evening with your loved one. You can choose a color and set the brightness to match your interior or garden. The charging base makes these decorative products wireless, operating for several hours, giving you complete freedom of placement.

All these products have color changing lights with soft-touch controls, and are safe to use – LED lights for both indoor and outdoor usage. They are tap washable, waterproof, as well as scratch resistant.

Firefly – wind sensitive LED sculpture

koibito — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:47:29 +0000

The Firefly Wind Light System revolves around a proprietary switch for sensing the wind. Picture an electrified wind chime; as the wind blows the metal chime into contact with the metal gong, it closes a circuit. Firefly’s LED/switch pairs do the same thing, except on a much smaller scale. When the wind blows on their pendulum switch, they light up.

Originally developed as a Master’s Thesis at NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in May of 2009, Firefly installations have since been featured at multiple arena-size musical events. Firefly 870 has been exhibited at the New York Hall of Science and was featured on Kanye West’s Blog, KanyeUniverseCity. Several Firefly installations are currently being realized in the New York City area.

Philips LED Technology

koibito — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 03:46:02 +0000

LED technology is often heralded as the future of lighting – and for good reason. LEDs are easy to produce, generate very little heat, and are super energy efficient, using only one-eighth of the power of traditional bulbs and less than half that of fluorescent lights. Now our favorite avant-electronics company, Philips, has come out with some stunning new designs for interactive LED lightbulbs.

Inspired by the thought â€œWhy couldnâ€™t changing a roomâ€™s ambience be as simple as switching on the TV?â€™â€ Philips has come up with a variety of ways to adjust the color, brightness and tone of a bulb with simple, intuitive hand gestures, such as touching or twisting. The â€œSimplictyâ€ LED bulbs are so nicely designed (with a wide variety of interesting shapes to choose from) that it eliminates the need for any sort of lamp covering.

These LED bulb designs are part of the larger Philips Sense & Simplicty design project, which the company haas been working on for the past year to demonstrate the power of simplicity-led design in driving innovation.

Ocean Breeze Motion Dolphin

koibito — Tue, 17 Apr 2007 01:25:17 +0000

Ocean Breeze is an undulating segmented worm-like light thatâ€™s shaped like a dolphin, is lit up with blue LEDs, and makes strange undersea noises complete with dolphin squeaks. Yes, it actually moves and flaps its tail up and down like a dolphin. Or something.

Itâ€™s marketed as some sort of romantic talisman, but we wouldnâ€™t fire this baby up the next time Flipper gets a backache. It just looks weird, and it sounds like a faucetâ€™s leaking in the bathroom next door. Weâ€™ve heard similar sound efffects in morgue scenes. Donâ€™t miss the video of this $79 wave motion dolphin in action. You may be as unimpressed as we are. â€“ Charlie White

Robern M Series with Night Light

koibito — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 23:34:57 +0000

With the introduction of an integrated night light and electrical enhancements for the popular M Series mirrored cabinets, Robern continues to innovate and lead the bath storage and luxury mirrored cabinet industry. Robern, a promoter of user-friendly and stylish personal vanity environments, previously pioneered other features, including interior mirrors, lock boxes and integrated electrical outlets.

In an effort to increase utility, Robern has enhanced its popular M Series mirrored cabinets with an integrated night light. Discreetly located in the finger pull of the door, the soft blue LED light heightens functionality without compromising style. Soft on the eyes, the LED light provides adequate illumination to safely complete all routine bathroom tasks. These new doors feature a light sensor that automatically turns on the light in low-light conditions. Users can also choose to manually control the night light. Robern is pairing these cabinets with an electrical shelf upgrade.

â€œSometimes the most inspired ideas are the simplest,â€ says Steve Bissell, president of Robern. â€œThe addition of an integrated night light to a mirrored cabinet tells consumers a lot about how Robern designers focus not just on quality and great looks, but also on ergonomics and function. Who wouldnâ€™t like to walk into his or her bathroom at night and find a softly glowing cabinet that allows them to navigate easily or even look through the mirrored cabinet?â€

Volume – Light and Sound Sculpture

koibito — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 16:09:53 +0000

Volume is an immersive light and soung sculpture created by United Visual Artists and one point six (production company set up by Robert Del Naja [alias 3D] of Massive Attack and Neil Davidge) that reacts to presence. Interaction is based on proximity, so without any participants it lies dormant, waiting to be awoken.

Each column contains a matrix of multicolored LEDs and a speaker. UVA use custom written camera tracking software to watch people moving through the space. As this photo explains, infrared lights are used to illuminate the area, whilst a high mounted camera looks down from above. I counted around 6 different scenes, each with a distinctive style (the video and photos show a few). The sound fitted perfectly, sometimes subtle, othertimes responding to your movements past each column. The garden is fantastic location for work like this, the water puddles creating reflection, shadows around the architecture changing and sounds travelling around the space. The color gradient fades are beautiful, and the nicest part was the interlude between scenes. The lights slowly die down, then pulsate with white light and sound in anticipation for the next visitors.

Rockefeller’s Intelligent LED Lighting

koibito — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 15:34:18 +0000

On the top-floor observation deck of the Rockefeller Center in New York, a unique, interactive space has been created with the use of intelligent LED lighting supplied by Color Kinetics. Cameras track individual visitors as they move within the space, and signal the LED fixtures to create a series of individual colors and patterns.

Conceptualized by Electroland of Los Angeles, the Target Interactive Breezeway has intelligently controlled LED light fixtures on all its surfaces. Each pixel in the “intelligent skin” is composed of four iColor Cove MX units, tightly grouped. These groupings are located in all available wall and ceiling surfaces, behind translucent glass and backlit by white LED strips. Approximately 1,300 units are employed in total.

Data from four stereo video cameras is combined to locate and individually track up to 30 separate visitors as they enter and walk around the space. Upon entry each visitor is automatically assigned a â€œpersonalityâ€ by the 3-D tracking system and is in turn followed by individualized light colors and patterns.

SHOJI: Symbiotic Hosting Online Jog Instrument

koibito — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 18:25:53 +0000

Like KOTOHANA, the SHOJI system consists of a pair of terminals placed at separate locations. Each terminal is equipped with a full-color LED array, a microphone and five sensors (developed at the University of Tokyo) that detect light, temperature, humidity, infrared radiation and ultrasonic waves. In addition to constantly measuring the roomâ€™s environmental conditions, SHOJI terminals can detect the presence and movement of people, body temperature, and the nature of the activity in the room.

Each SHOJI terminal constantly sends the roomâ€™s mood data over the Internet to the other terminal, where it is expressed as colored light on the LED array. By checking the color of light on the SHOJI terminal, users can easily understand the mood in the other room.

SHOJIâ€™s display consists of 10 rows of LEDs that emit colors corresponding to different emotions â€” red for anger, blue for sadness, yellow for happiness, and green for peace. The display also provides a clear indication of mood shifts, with the top 5 rows representing the current mood of the room and the bottom 5 representing the recent past.

GS Yuasa will soon put SHOJI to a series of field tests at Tokyo-area companies, allowing head office managers to keep tabs on the mood at branch offices (and vice-versa). Tests are also planned at hospitals and in residential settings.
