Shinshoku - Industrially Designed LED Watch
The strap is a continuous stainless steel band that wraps around your wrist with a matrix of punched out holes. Beneath the surface are 29 super bright LED’s which illuminate to indicate the time. There are 3 models available.
The watch’s LED’s animate in a cascade effect when showing the time. (Button B skips the animation & jumps straight to the time)On the multi-color LED model the red lights (12) indicate the hour, the green (3) indicate 15 minutes each & the Yellow (14) are 1 minute each.
By telling the time in this way it makes it very easy to see if its roughly quarter-past, half-past or quarter-to the hour. With each green LED worth 15 mins; then 2 lit equals 30 mins.

The Wave :: Interactive LED Coffee Table
Made of 100% sustainable wood and water-based dyes, this interactive tables are kind to the environment, and look great in you place! The entire table pulls a total of 35 watts, when it is fully active. That’s less than most common house hold light bulbs.
This Coffee Table is large enough for a big room at 62″ long by 31″ wide by 18″ high and comes with either a with a nice thick glass or plastic top, in sanded or clear. A striking wood lattice underneath, spanning the side waves, forms a strong shelf for storage.
Using a network of 32 active and passive near-infrared optical sensors, it detects motion above the table and changes in ambient light. Made of fully analog circuits, the light patterns sweep outwards from your motion with perfect fades, rippling across a pool of 480 super-bright white LEDs. It works in full sunlight or total darkness. Without motion it calms down to a very slight attractive twinkling.

The Anemix :: 3D Effects Lighting System
TheANEMIX is a new lighting system that creates unique 3D effects in space.
It´s a panel composed by a luminescent and a reflective layer, which can be modified to create a wide range of visual effects.
The designers chose OSRAM LED technology to be the light source of this system, as it´s efficient, small and with a very low cost of manteinance. The glass-aluminium technology was developed by GLASSTECH, a specialized glazed Chilean company.
This modular system can also be customized. The tecnology used to make the shapes matrix and modular dimensions allows anyone to design their own Anemix. In this way and depending on the format and dimension, it can be used as object, as a comunication or mood light surface or as an architectural element.

Twister: LED Illuminated face
Twister is a complete system which is ideal for illuminated face, reverse/halo or cove lighting. The low-profile, compact size and flexible design fits into small and medium channel letters and narrow coves.
Permlight’s patented thermal management technology uses the metal letter sign or a metal strip in a cove to dissipate heat away from the LED, resulting in useable life of 10 years. Twister is conformal coated to resist moisture and harsh exterior conditions. Twister’s wide beam viewing angle allows mounting on returns of channel letters or in shallow coves providing even illumination.
It’s safe, energy efficient and weather resistant conformal coating.
Twister is available in multiple colors.
High Frequency :: 3D Display LCD Watch
Strutting your stuff with this baby strapped to your wrist is sure to turn heads, maybe even enough to compete with the bright lights of Tokyo.
The display pushes up the top row of lights and they float back down in a real equalizer effect, finally all the lights fall down off the face of the watch to leave only two lights to indicate the time for 5 seconds, then the two lights also trail off.
The watch uses very little power for the amount of lights and is far more efficient than traditional LED watches. Note this is not an LED watch. It is an Advanced LCD using only 1 LED to light the entire watch using new technology. This is why the power consumption is low.
The Mirrored face and numbers are very eye catching. When light reflects off it you are sure to get noticed. The design was done to accommodate all sizes of wrists both big and small.

LED Top at Moshe Aviv Tower
At its completion in 2003, Israel’s Moshe Aviv Tower was the tallest building in the Middle East, and today stands as the tallest in Israel. Rising 801 feet (244 meters) over the Tel Aviv skyline, it serves as the gateway between the cities of Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan and serves as a symbol of national importance.
Lighting designer Michal Kantor understood the building’s significance and wanted to make it even more distinct within the city’s nightscape. She wanted to highlight the building with a dynamic light show that would interact with the cosmopolitan city’s events, holidays and festivals. Kantor conceptualized a light design focused on the building’s crown, and used Color Kinetic’s LED lighting solutions to make her dream a reality.

Laws of Motion in Origin by Leo Villareal
To create this new work, Villareal integrated physicist Issac Newton’s Laws of Motion into his own computer code, augmenting his earlier explorations of rule-based cellular automata programs that were inspired by mathematician John Conway’s Game of Life. By applying principles of physics, the artist has increased the complexity of his simulated worlds. As the elements move within the large matrix of white LED’s (light emitting diodes),Villareal’s encompassing patterns evoke stars swirling in space and at other passages biological interactions deep within the body. Lively interactions between objects in Orign’s matrix generate visual stimuli pulsing with energy suggestive of specific behavior and personality.
“I am very inspired essential questions like ‘How does life begin?’ Villareal explains, referencing both studies in the birth of the universe as well as cellular processes such as fertilization and cell division in his patterning. “I liked the minimal feel of my last show Horizon, here in 2004, yet the experience of the new piece will be like seeing a very zoomed up view of my worlds. Origin’s scale within the gallery will create a sense of immersion, like being in a giant microscope or scientific instrument,” comments the artist on the relationship of the new work to his earlier installation.
