The temporary installation was so popular that the initial run of a few weeks was extended through the 2012 holiday season.

LIKE Architects has worked with IKEA before last year when they took thousands of plastic bag dispensers to create <a href="http://inhabitat.com/frozen-trees-made-of-1000s-of-ikea-plastic-bag-dispensers-light-up-lisbon/" target="_blank">"Frozen Trees"</a>.

Their latest project was part of a plan to introduce IKEA's line of energy efficient LED bulbs - specifically the <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/departments/lighting/20514/" target="_blank">Ledare Bulb series</a>.

There are a number of different LEDARE bulb, which use as low as 4.5 W up to 8.5 W of power.

LEDscape is made up of 1,200 Ledare bulbs and 1,200 Hemma floor lamp bases in a range of heights.

The result is a dizzying array of lights arranged in a maze so visitors can walk through the installation.

The lights were installed in a way that at night they would slowly turn on and then pulse to create a constantly evolving scene.
