Fireflies are
ceiling lights that respond to movement. The colour of their light
changes according to the height of the person below. Fireflies can be
used either individually or as a part of a larger cluster. They come in
two shapes inspired by insect forms. Inside their porcelain bodies are
LED lights that shine through at varying intensities. The LED lights and
plastic wings are controlled by Arduino, an open-source electronics
prototyping platform.
All is quiet and Fireflies are
at rest. Movement awakens them, they spread their wings and illuminate
their surroundings.
