"Let us startle, astound, amuse and inform our fellow human travellers."
These panels were originally designed to be low voltage, long lasting, high brightness, touch sensitive, animated sources of back illumination for the beautiful blue - green glass blocks created by Adelaide glass artist, Deb Jones.
They needed to react to being touched, or stood on, bright enought to see in strong Australian daylight, and interesting to look at at all times.
The result is these panels now available here. The panels in the sculpture have met all the design criteria extremely well. They have run for 24 hours per day, through very wet winters, and the extreme heat of summers, for over two years so far.

These boards were designed to provide the illuminated "heartbeat" of this street sculpture, "Fallen Light".
LB-108 lighting up the street.
This sculptural work has five main pieces, assembled as "L" shapes, with the bottom embedded in the footpath. All the time the LED panels' light levels rise and fall in groups, providing a never-ending variation of undulation within each main piece, and across the five pieces. It is the bottom part that is interactive. The LEDs flash brightly and then continue undulating. The flashes of light reflect the rythmn of the tapping of the glass tiles in the footpath. Reliable interactivity is achieved through 25mm thick glass tiles.
LB-108A
Super bright LED panel with touch/proximity sensor input
To order, enquire or discuss, contact
Description
- 260 x 96 x 22 mm with mounting holes (D4mm) 160 x 70 mm
- 12DC 400mA supply requ. (800mA if companion board is included)
- 3 Osram Golden Dragon LEDs (White, 45 lumens, 17000MCD) at 117mm centres, in series, driven with 350mA constant current driver. A second driver can serve the companion board, LB-108B, see below.
- One capacitive touch/proximity sense input
- Microcontroller, receives touch input, and switches (incl. dimming) the LED drivers
- Microcontroller can be pre-programmed with a LED dimming sequence, and a response for the sensor input. Standard program gives gently undulating LED brighness, with a brief, bright flash when triggered. A variety of sense input possible, from a conductive spot touch, to through 25mm of glass
- One LED driver is for the on-board LEDs, the other supplies an output which can drive external LEDs
Applications so far
- Interactive glass and light street sculpture
- Touch controlled desk lamp prototype
Price
- LB-108A standard configuration, Aus $180 ea, $120 ea for 50+, plus taxes and pack & post
