Creative Lighting Board from Traxon
TRAXON, a leading manufacturer in the LED based lighting industry, combines state-of-the-art technology with award winning design concepts to create unique and innovative lighting products and solutions. From an easy to use remote-controlled display in the lobby of a building to complex DMX-controlled lighting scenarios illuminating the ceiling of a casino, they are constantly evolving and increasing their range of LEDbased lighting products.
The Board 16 SMD RGB is an innovative lighting element with a multitude of application areas. Its size and user friendly design set the Board 16 SMD RGB at the forefront of design and technology, permitting the easy installation of LED on floors, ceilings, walls and any other imaginable place. Installed behind fixed or malleable foregrounds, the Board spreads its light from 16 high performance RGB SMDs over all kinds of surfaces.
The compact size allows for the realization of a variety of geometric shapes while the wide beam angle of 120° guarantees an even light spread. As an optional accessory, the installation pad ensures a fast and easy mounting of the boards in a precise and time saving way. Its usage extends to exhibitions, interior design, in-house design, bars, casinos, offices, restaurants, shops, shopping centers and a wide number of commercial applications.

The Moebius Display
Moebius display is a new output interfase development.
This interfase is a simple LED (light emitting diode) screen that has a spatial and conceptual modification.Instead of being flat as the majority of screens, it is moebius stripe shaped, a three-dimensional representation of the infinite. T his new space for expression is one of the first non-Euclidean space as an output for a computer, and brings to surface many questions about visual and spatial representations. The idea of looking at an image or a word moving in a one sided three dimensional object expresses ambiguity. the piece is always showing at the same time two contradictory ideas, two poles sharing the same space.
“This project started as an art installation in 2004 while I was as a visiting scholar at UCLA,” Bonadeo explained me when i asked him if he had heard of Vital Signs, a similar project envisioned by nArchitects. “A year later I received a grant from Telefonica Foundation to develop this project. During 2005 I saw the posting from nArchitects in an architecture weblog, I contacted them but they told me that was only a project and they never developped it.”

COOLLIGHT - Winner of House Party Design Competition
Recently, designboom had a “house party” design competition, and after looking at 3070 designers from 89 different countries, they decided on the top 3. Wen-Haur Yen from Taiwan took first place and in his own words describes his invention:
COOLIGHT combines a handle and a steel cylinder filled with cryogen. When you need an ice beer, just put the COOLIGHT into the beer bottle. It would help you to cool down the beer as soon as possible. On the top of the handle , there is a cork made by rubber would fix the hole device and the bottle close together, and you can drink the beer through the hole on the top of it. COOLIGHT has another convenient device on its body, LED. LED would display the information of time and temperature in order that you could know what time it is or what the temperature of the beer. Besides, LED provides several different colors to show the identification (identify itself) from others, and different light gives different atmosphere of the party. And it would be a good subject of a beginning talk.

LED Playing Tables
The hi-tech concepts of moritz waldemeyer were on show at at rabih hage gallery, London earlier this year the electric kid is the result of an predilection for corian®, by DuPont, LED’s, furniture, home entertainment and product design. The show consisted of two table designs, ‘pong table’, and the ‘roulette table’
Pong table - the pure white table made of the corian® can, at the flick of a switch, transform itself into the competitive field of ping pong, allowing you to play Pong at your table. Inspired by the first generation computer designers that started the IT revolution in their bedrooms, ‘pong table’ plays homage to those early video games.
Roulette table - the luminous electric dining table (LED) combines the elegance and translucency of corian® with the international sophistication. Roulette game plan is incorporated into the table by means of an illuminated map. The lamp above the table reveals an inverted roulette wheel, the rolling ball of which is represented by moving lights circumnavigating the outer edge.

Colored JukeDock from Pressure Drop
Pressure Drop just rolled out JukeDock, a $100 system that lets you
plug your iPod into your TV, stereo and computer, giving you some
snazzy blinking lights at the same time.
Compatible with most iPods, its LED lights have three brightness levels
that can bounce along with the music, cycle among various colors, give
you a steady color or can even go into a psychedelic rainbow mode for
those nights you feel like pulling out that Pink Floyd album.
This looks like a fun little device to which you can attach your iPod,
give yourself some retro-deco lighting, and easily control with your
existing stereo’s remote. Jump for more pics.

Rockefeller’s Intelligent LED Lighting
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 “personality” by the 3-D tracking system and is in turn followed by individualized light colors and patterns.

LED Grow Master - The Future of Plant Lighting
Emitting 100% Plant-Absorbed-Light, LED Grow-Master Gro-Bars use a patented blend of LEDs, to produce only colors of light that plants need to grow.
Costing up to $135.00 per month to operate, high-wattage HID lighting systems produce only 25% visible light, the rest is invisible heat, and only ½ an HIDs visible light is actually absorbed by plants and used for photosynthesis.
“Plant Specific Lighting has much more to offer,” says Jonathan Cardinale, CEO of LED Grow-Master Global. “Eliminating wasted light (Green/Yellow) and heat (Infra-Red) make LED Grow-Master Gro-Bars the most efficient plant lighting systems on the market today, with 90% electrical savings, and 98% less heat, eliminating the need for large exaust fans.”
No Mercury, No Glass, No UV, and 7-10 years rated life make LED Grow-Master Lighting Systems the “Greenest” horticultural lighting available, facing the world’s energy crunch head-on, with efficiency.
Low voltage UL listed power supplies, and advance circuitry make these systems safe for kids and pets, opening the doors to classrooms, and home gardeners.
Using a patented and patent pending blend of LED colors designed and engineered by SolarOasis.
