Collection of light, 2011

“Collection of light” is simply a collection of LEDs which together constitute a lamp in itself. The aim is to create an aura of a real collection (similar to a collection of insects) and expose each illuminant as a worthy industrial product. The LEDs are all labeled (with name, size and colour temperature) and arranged in a specific order to accomplish harmonic light.

Apart from the big lamp which contains a selection of 300 LEDs there are also two smaller versions with 150 LEDs and 90 LEDs available.
All versions are highly limited:
Collection of light 300: Edition of 3
Collection of light 150: Edition of 10
Collection of light 90: Edition of 10

For the 90 and 150 version we refurbished and reused original 70 year-old insect collection drawers from Museum of Natural History Stockholm (Naturhistoriska Museet).

Dimension:
-300 LEDs: ca. 51cm x 100cm x 7cm
