Object Art | IncanLED

The concept of the IncanLED touches on the phase-out of the incandescent light source. Although the tungsten incandescent was not the most efficient lamp, it has very high colour rendering capabilities and a lovely warm glow. The clear bulbous shape of the tungsten halogen is appealing in and of itself. The spherical form of this work was intended to echo the incandescent lamp, while the LED light source contrasts its appearance. The ominous glow that emits from the base of the globe highlights the form of the glass and creates a sense of mystery as to the inner workings of the light source. 

Five IncanLEDs were commissioned as centrepieces and exhibited at the 80th birthday event for Architectural and Engineering firm Steensen Varming, held at The Sydney Opera House. 

The IncanLEDs were also exhibited at the Globelight, Fringe and Decor + Design Exhibitions in Melbourne.
