[...] die hard fans of both Dutch design and fiberoptic lighting here at Inhabitat, so it should come as no big shock that we were wowed by this gem of a light [...]

I am a commercial contractor, this looks very interesting for daylight use, but do you use electrical lighting fed through these same fiber optics at night?

I too would love to see this in person. Having a modern home and being a techie, this would fit right in. Any one know if this can be found in NY?

Interesting, I like looking at it, but I would never buy a light fixture that didn’t provide any usable light.

Am I’m the only one that questions these products? Beautiful, yes, but practical, well that depends. I mean I’m reading from their site now and they (along with similar products oft touted here) are clearly light “sculptures” not LIGHTS. Fiber optics are super cool but I’ve yet to see them truly light a house at night which for me would come in handy as I still enjoy reading books and cool stuff like that, even after the sun has set. I’ve been a custom home builder for many years and have yet to find any major practical purpose of mood lights, and last I checked issues of necessity are principal concerns of most green building programs.

I’m not against this, I’m simply confused as to why something that needlessly consumes power (yes, purely subjective and assumes electricity use) is being promoted as green.

Sometimes fiber optic lighting comes across TOO minimal… & there really isn’t anything there to provide “woo factor”. Simon Bruenner knew what he was doing here. He used the medium as just that, a medium… and the outcome is a fixture with more “woo” than I’ve seen in lighting in a long time. I like it best with white light, but the color range is open… This is gong to be a great fixture for restaurants & hospitality… Hell… anywhere! Fancy an underwater lounge? Can you see it?!?

Very elegant, although I’d love to see it up close in case it looked a little plasticy. It’s great when something beautiful is more efficient than what already exists too!
