  Does anyone know the dimensions of a singular 'X'? I'm using them in a design for uni and need to know the exact dimensions! Also. how do I find out the price? Or if anyone knows it please share! Thanks.

  This modular lighting is very UNIQUE. We are interested on the modular lighting, do you have the local contact (in Singapore) to follow up.

  The white plastic you see is just an outer shell, hiding the two bent tubes and electronics. The shell opens for tube replacement. At the end of each "leg" is a solid plastic connector, and different shaped covers are available for covering the joints. At the center of the X is a fitting with a steel wire for hanging. (I was given 9 units by a friend from a lighting company - they will be installed once our conference room has been redecorated…)

  re LEDs: Actually, some of the highest-end LEDs can now match the best linear fluorescents for lumens/watt, the only problem is that it would be extremely expensive to buy enough of them to match the overall output of even a single cheap fluorescent tube. It's a waste of money to use high-end LEDs behind a diffuser, it makes more sense to use them for spot-lighting and accent lighting where fluorescent lamps cannot be used. This is an interesting system though, I'm glad to see someone producing creative/artistic fluorescent fixtures. The newest fluorescent lamps have come a long way in terms of efficiency, and color/quality of light, but are not likely to succeed because most people still have the image of the crappy old-school flickery cool white bulbs in their head.

  royalestel - apples to oranges, the correct answer is not really as flourscents are TUBE lights! That's the beauty of this design - form=function and funtion=form Clara - just how many Clara's does it take to change a light bulb - clearly more than one...... J - the connections are clearly indicated - to can be hidden - what's a jbox?

  Eric, I thought you were joking with your post. Did some research. . . interesting. http://www.otherpower.com/otherpower_lighting.html

  where's the ballast and jbox? and how exactly do these Xs connect together? the model shown has filleted edges and no sort of indication of connections. also curious how the current would flow through one X to the next...

  So how does one change the fluorescent tube?

• 
  Eric June 20, 2007 at 4:30 pm

  Nice way of making fluorescents look more artistic/design-y. Yes, you could do this with LEDs, but they aren't efficient enough yet to compete with tubular fluorescents in terms of light output per watt.
