Reverse Space 6PM to 11PM 4-25-2013 – Build, Create, Collaborate.
Karl
This week we have new tech at the space called the “Switch” LED light. The Switch is unique because of it's liquid cooling system. Because of this cooling technology, the Switch LED is the only type of blub currently on the market of this size with a clear glass cover and the ability to emit enough light equivalent to a standard 100 watt light blub. This LED is also being used by industrial designers because of it's beautiful design due to the liquid cooling which allows the open display of the internal workings of the LED light.
The Switch 3-Way LED is also the 2013 CES Innovation Awards Honoree for the “Best of Innovations” in the Eco-design and sustainable technologies category. At the meeting we will be designing and printing a wall mountable light fixture for the Switch which we hope to display at the weekly meetings. More information about the Switch LED can be found at:
