About 5x5 Led Teeb

Lub 5x5 LED teeb los ua ke nrog 5x5 lub rooj zaum tau qhia thiab muab khoom plig rau xyoo dhau los. Cov khoom siv tshwj xeeb ntawm lub rooj zaum xav tau cov vuas luaj ntawm kwv yees li 5x5 cm. Yog li ntawd, tib qhov ntev yog qhov pib ntawm lub teeb. Txhawm rau kom tsis txhob rov qab ncaj qha ntawm daim ntawv, rau lub teeb 5x5 cm yog siv nyob rau hauv daim ntawv ntawm rhombus, lub ntsiab modular qauv ntawm lub teeb. Ob peb lub teeb mounted ua ke muab qhov muaj peev xwm los tsim cov teeb pom kev sib txawv xws li zig-zag, kab pheeb ces kaum, cov duab ntawm tus xub, lossis lwm cov duab los ntawm kev siv cov neeg tsim qauv tsim muaj tswv yim.

The Recognition

About the A' Design Award Kub

Unique Properties: 5x5 LED lamp comes together with the 5x5 chair introduced and awarded previous year. The chair's material characteristic required tiles dimensioned approximately 5x5 cm. Therefore this was aslo the starting point for the lamp. In order to avoid the direct form's repetition the 5x5 cm is applied in a form of rhombus, the main modular structure part of the lamp. Several lamps mounted together offer the possibility to create different lighting patterns like zig-zag, diagonal line, the shape of an arrow or of a big rhombus or any other shape by the choice of person who equips the specific place. The curving of led strips together with metal form represent a technical innovation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length 600 mm x Width 320 mm x High 810 mm
Tags: 5x5 LED lamp, LED diodes, rhombus form, technical innovation, technical experiment, challenge
Production Technology: The lamp's main structure consists of thin, flat, ligtly curved laser cut metal sheet plate, surface nickel treated. All modules in a shape of rhombus consist of white acrylic plate, cut and shaped by a vacuum technology. Rhombus forms ared pasted on a metal plate. Led lighting system consists of 8 led strips with 8 6 Watt diodes attached on the metal sheet plate. The curving of led circuit represented a special technological challenge which finally led to technical innovation.
Design Challenge: The creative and research challenge was focused mostly on a technical part about experimental work with led strips and translucency of the opaque material. Led strips are usually mounted on a flat surface. Here they were at first mounted and then curved together with metal sheet plate. This was a kind of innovative technological process. In addition the challenge was how to find the appropriate material to cover the led diodes enabling them to transmit enough light through the opaque surface. It is acrylic material that fulfilled all performance requirements.
Research: It was all about experimental work with led strips. They are usually mounted on a flat surface. Here they were at first mounted and then curved together with a metal sheet plate. It is definitely a technical innovation.
Inspiration: I was inspired by the idea that one lamp as a product to be used in private space can be a single module for a lighting system in public space. As explained in a project description the 5x5 led lamp in the shape of the rhombus offers several possibilities to create an extraordinary lighting system in public spaces.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2008 and finished in October 2008 in Slovenia. It was exhibited at Month of Design, October 2008, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Operation Flow: With its thin elegant form and with a soft light that is spread through the space the light intends to address the end user’s emotions. The white opaque rhombus forms that cover the led strips enable the spread of soft light.
