“Combining LINKLEDs and flare lenses created a fantastic effect,” says artist Peter Freeman of Reflexive, his latest LED installation located at the Crafts Study Centre at the University for the Creative Arts Farnham, UK.

In this installation he uses Dialight’s high-powered LINKLED K2 LED light engines in three custom strips running floor-to-ceiling on the glazed façade and its central column. These control and mix 30 different colour maps programmed into a DMX controller connected to barometric and proximity sensors. Every three minutes the controller scans the barometric sensor and uses the atmospheric pressure feedback data to adjust the colour of the lights. A proximity sensor by the front entrance also changes the colour of the lights in response to passing pedestrians.

Facing inward the work becomes the illuminated space with no direct glare from the LEDs. There are five separate control circuits creating five levels of horizontal colour from floor to ceiling. The LEDs are also fitted with 2 degree by 120 degree flare lenses which spread the light in narrow horizontal beams. These create soft stripes of intense colour like a magical wall of light which fills the double height atrium.

As a modular plug-and-play system, Dialight’s LINKLED K2 LED light engines are specially suited for flexible design in curved or unusually shaped areas. With the RGB controller/driver an infinite number of colours can be produced for any application requiring dynamic colour changing efficiency, long life and flexibility in size and shape of light source. Flare lenses further enable horizontal distribution up to 80° as demonstrated in the Reflexive installation.
