We have worked with a company in Cleveland, GPI Design, they use Green LED technology to develop feature walls with many different surfaces – their focus is turnkey solutions in surface/structural/light, experienced team there. They have a flat light panel that can create this effect. I love it myself, we have it spec’d on over 10 projects.

i agree with your comment (Jiji N), presumably the product (if developed) would only make sense if the power consumption was so lo as to be negligible.

it does look pretty stunning though; i’m imagining a future with multi layer/multi colour images phasing across the ceiling like the northern lights.

This is very cool stuff. I can imagine this as a very mainstream products. I saw this story on Engadget and /Products.

I have an open mind, but it seems to me that adding energy use to something that never used energy before may not be a green idea. However there’s not enough information to really tell, although the picture on the left appears to have been taken in a more traditionally lighted room.

still waiting to find out myself and hoping to speak with the designer at the fair this week. will be sure to post any updates but the same questions came to my mind: how much light can be generated (enough to read/ work by depending on print), how long would it last if it’s organically printed electronics, what is the cost for the technology/upkeep and use. For some reason, I don’t think that there would be a huge amount of heat generated as the layer of lighting printed paper would be so thin.

I have been wondering for a while if an LED type projector could be used for an interesting light source / constant video wall. Any comments regarding issues like heat production and cost vs conventional lighting? I realize the image projected could be a factor since a darking image may not produce enough light.
