The World Largest 3D LED Display
The “Electrotechnische Vereeniging”, the association for students of electrical engineering from the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), will reveal the world’s largest 3D-display Sunday 23rd of April. The display measures 8 metres in width, 4 metres in height and 2 metres in depth and consists of a matrix of 8.000 LEDs with table tennis balls around them. This stunt is being organised because of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the “Electrotechnische Vereeniging” (ETV). The display will be revealed on Sunday at 9.00 pm local time on the ‘Markt’ in Delft.
It will be possible to send text messages to the MatriXX during the times it is operating. Send your sms/text to +31 (0) 6 24 171 797 . It will be displayed during the next sms display time slot. Threats, rude language etc will be filtered.

LED Light & Water Bottle
Introducing the solar powered LightCap™, the water bottle with a light in the lid. The LightCap is the brightest idea you’ve ever seen. The LightCap is not only an unbreakable one-liter water bottle, it’s also the coolest solar powered LED light you’ve ever used.
The cap has a built-in waterproof solar panel, battery pack and powerful, long-lasting LED light. Fill it with your favorite drink and never worry about finding it in the dark again. The water-bottle and cap combo weighs only 11 oz. The LightCap stands 8 ¼” tall and 3 ¾” wide and has a 32 oz capacity.
With just a four-hour charge of sunshine the LightCap will stay bright for hours while the rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries will last for at least 300 cycles. Set it in the sun or hang it from a railing during the day and you’ll have light all night long!
The solar power unit is totally sealed; in fact, it is molded in from the top (outside) of the cap so there’s no possible contact with the contents of the bottle. There’s also a handy waterproof switch on the cap that lets you change from the white LED (bright), to red (preserves your night vision), or turn it off completely. You can leave the red light on all night (minimal energy draw) so you can easily find the bottle; then switch it to white if you need a light!

BION - between non-living and living matter
“Bion” is an interactive installation that explores the relationship between humans and artificial life. “Bion” makes reference to an individual element of primordial biological energy identified as orgone by the scientist Wilhelm Reich.The installation is composed of hundreds of mass-produced, 3-dimensional glowing and chirping sculptural forms. Each bion, measuring approximately 4×3x2 ½ inches is an synthetic “life-form” fitted with an audio speaker, blue lights (LED’s), and multiple sensors. The bions are suspended by fine gage wire connected to panels that are attached to the ceiling. When installed the panels form clusters of bions arranged at different elevations. Each bion has the ability to communicate with the others and with viewers that enter the space.
When a viewer approaches the installation space she will witness a dynamic array of blips of sound and blue light emanating in cloud like patterns from all parts of the room. She notices that the source of the light and sound come from hundreds of small organic shaped forms called bions . The bions are communicating, unaware of the approaching visitor.

Leddy Electro luminescence Lighting
This new range of products designed for the use of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) includes floor, wall, or ceiling recessed fixtures for interiors and exteriors, as well as interior lighting lines. LEDs are light sources with a service life ranging from 10,000 to 100,000 hours, depending on the type of LED and the colour; they also provide very low energy consumption, several colours to choose from, dimmer option, no UV emission, immediate ignition, visual comfort, and accurate control of the light beam. Leddy brings the benefits of LED technology to the world of lighting, creating New Bright Ideas!
Leddy® is a new lighting technology range that challenges conventional light bulbs with smaller, longer-lasting and more energy-efficient light sources based on Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. LEDs have existed for decades but until recently they have not had the luminous output power necessary to challenge conventional lighting. The light source has an operanting life from 10,000 untill 100,000 hours depending from LED type and colour, reducing the need for bulb replacement.

Desktop Led Lamp: Hollywood Moon Spot
Hollywood is an exceptional, impressive objet d’art, a lamp of first-class quality that may well be called a light sculpture. This model is not only an eye-catcher, but also eco-friendly, energy-saving and amazingly durable. Its optical lens focuses the beam so that the circle of light looks as if drawn with a pair of compasses. Hollywood comes with practical multifunctional energy system (MES, patent pending). The lamp use an electronic transformer and a high-grade steel battery box, so that the lamp can either be run off the mains or used as portable lamp – whether in bed, in your garden, in a tent or while travelling.
This lamp has really great features, and there are some of them:
- design living-room lamp with battery and mains connection
- 360º swivelling lamp head adjustable to any position
- low power consumption of 1.2 W and long service life of LED (100,000h) reduce energy costs
- razor-sharp circle of light is reminiscent of searchlights or theatre spots
- elegant high-grade steel battery box allows for outdoor applications
- versatile uses without mains incl. 220 V 400mA transformer, mains connection & battery box
LED Bonsai Tree
If you like technology and if you like traditional Japanese art, you should try to build your own LED bonsai tree. There is one simple tutorial that describe one cool way to make it using 1152 LED’s and 256 resistors.
The base is a flower pot and a disk of wood with a ring of holes for the wire “roots” to pass through. The wood is resined into the flower pot which is topped up with a mixture of peat and PVA to form a hard soil-like surface.
“The number of flowers was chosen to be a binary multiple to make it easier to twist the wire together in a way that allows pairs of branches to combine progressively until there is just one big trunk of 256 wires going into the base. All 256 wires are electrically functional and were colour coded brown for +ve and green for -ve to make wiring easier while giving a natural appearance(!).”
