Lantern

I utilized my explorations of Music and Architecture as inspiration in generating a lighting fixture. This LED lantern uses harmonic proportioning as a method of creation. It was hand crafted using baltic birch plywood and basswood, and I spent time learning how to properly configure an LED circuit. The 4x3 LED grid arrangement produces a geometric display of light while also illuminating the geometry of the lanterns form as well. 

Programs/Tools Used: AutoCAD, Rhino, LED Array Calculator, Soldering Iron, 5mm LED's, 100ohm Resistors, Bass Wood, Baltic Birch Plywood, Mylar, White Trace, Wood Glue
