The Branches Tree Light

This is a unique interactive solar powered tree design, which was unveiled at London Design festival. The structure comes with strands of light-emitting fabric woven into a lucent web of branches.

The structure, dubbed Son-Umbra, gets power from a PV-equipped canopy that harnesses solar energy during the day and stores it in on-board batteries to light up the tree after dark. It has encourages interaction with the visitors as the lights moves and play with music and sets by the sensors.

I especially liked the concept idea of SonUmbra, designed by Rachel Wingfield and Mathias Gmachl, which is a solar-powered electro luminescent wire which is intended for regions without access to the electricity grid, offering them a low cost and low maintenance alternative.

Moonlighting

This special creature is carried by Moonlight, a lighting manufacture from USA. Simple look, easy to assemble, has different application either in land or water area and many colors or artistic and unique looked to choose. It’s a great geen option for those that are environmentally concerned as the batteries are rechargeable and the internal light is a compact fluorescent or even changing colors LED.

Now, we can attend moon lights wherever we want…!

White Looked, Hotel Concorde Berlin

White and spacious design at the Hotel Concorde Berlin in Germany is perfectly clear shown from the façade until its interior design. Consistency in white is appeared in every single room but we can feel different ambience depend on what the room function is. Simple and minimalist design over the façade covered with modern and hi-tech look at the interior design but also a sense of infinity. Those are excellence combination to make it grand and luxurious hotel design.

The Club Hotel, Singapore

 Being invited by one of the famous lighting manufacture in the world to join a pleasure cocktail event after working hours was too great to miss up. When this manufacture was chosen a place to catch up, it could be one of their project references as we can see the real effect and its application of their product.

The interactive flora feature walls colored with LEDs as their backgrounds are excellent. Again, in smart way playing with light is to having hidden the source and lets the colors control your mood.

I am agreed if everybody’s choosing Color Kinetics as the best color changing lighting instrument. As they are never stop to do innovative in design and application which is more for building and environment applications. You might enjoying how it’s softly change the colors, having dynamic rhythm together with music or moving detector which is of course,  by computerize.

iLight Marina Bay

This is the first light art event held in Asia, from 15 October until 7 November 2010. iLight Marina Bay celebrates the nightscape with the use of energy efficient lighting and creates awareness for energy saving lighting technology for the urban environment. The festival features a Light Walk comprising over 20 dynamic light art installations and sculptures as well as interactive and performance based art displays from talent local and International design luminaires.

Almost of the light arts and sculptures shown along the light-way are using low power of LEDs which becomes famous nowadays. From the event, we were enjoying the colorful of lights, somehow they have their own rhythm, getting dynamic, and still under control. Even light got the beat and was perfectly merged nicely into their environment.

2010

Still remember,  when I was spent my times on the new year eve at The Marina Bay Sands which has become  Singapore’s landmark for the new year countdown with the most amazing fireworks and lighting you can imagine. Started at 5.00pm, I was already stand by at the front line closed with the waterfront, so I might not lost the best moment to captured the fireworks and lighting in videos. And I did.

Fireworks, just like lighting, have come a long way. Somehow, right now it's highly sophisticated, computerize controlled with every effect timed and planned to the second. Like on stage, show and event lighting are timed operations. Unlike permanent lighting installations they are not there for prosperity.

Singapore, just like another countries who had spent their budgets to create the fireworks at the New Year eve to entertained every foreigners who visited Singapore along the holiday but also residences. The ideas to celebrate the New Year eve along the waterfront was wonderful where they’re combined the fires, lights and water at the same times. When fires and lights were came in together, it shown that we were welcomed with the bright future in the next year. Wishes, dreams and many planning that we are willing to make it happen in the next year. While water means that the way it reflected whatever we did over the last year.

Well, Happy New Year to everyone...
