The Glowcone

The Glowcone is a unique decorative light with a focus on movement. Although many lighting concepts are beautiful, the majority are fairly static. By turning the handle on the top of the Glowcone, the 'scales' will unfurl to reveal its glowing core. You can adjust the scales to the position you find most pleasing! The Glowcone can be left sitting on its base or hung from its handle.

The video shows both a computer-generated animation of the Glowcone, as well as video footage of the real thing being operated. it looks really neat with the light turned on, I'll get some photos of that uploaded too.

Designed to be built by laser sintering (a form of 3D printing or "Additive Manufacturing", the main assembly (everything but the handle and mounts for the lighting circuitry) are built in one part! No assemby required!
