Entry DescriptionWindmill lamp is an outdoor landscape lamp composed of a windmill, a rotating Hall magnetic encoder, and circular LED lights. When night falls, the windmill will emit colorful lights, creating a rich visual enjoyment for the park landscape. When the wind comes, the windmill generates different rotational speeds according to the size of the wind, and the light emitted by the lights also dances with the rotation of the windmill. The speed is recognized by the decoder and transmitted to the light, generating various color changes from orange to purple. The faster the speed, the colder the color.
It injects delightful color changing lighting landscapes into the space, creatively providing people with a joyful natural interactive lighting art landscape. The product is easy to install and use, and can be installed by inserting the pole of the lamp into the ground. Each windmill is made of transparent PVC sheet material, durable and waterproof, suitable for outdoor decoration.
Windmill lamp has a variety of light colors and optical device options. The light colors are coded and customized by designers, providing precise control of light colors and innovative solutions for modern garden landscapes. I hope this ocean of windmills can evoke innocent and brilliant childhood memories, bringing warmth and surprises to urban life under high pressure.
Sustainability ApproachApplying efficient LED light sources to reduce lighting energy consumption while meeting functional and usage requirements. Strictly control lighting to avoid adverse effects of light pollution on plants and animals. Strive to create an eco-friendly, comfortable and warm natural atmosphere. Introducing advanced lighting technology, strictly controlling the light distribution angle of the lamp, avoiding interference and scattered light, fully reflecting the concept of green lighting. The lighting fixtures should adjust the color and brightness of the light according to the wind, which not only saves energy but also increases the interactive experience between the lighting and nature. The shell of the lamp and the material of the flying car blades are waterproof and durable, which can be used outdoors for a long time, reducing plastic pollution and protecting the environment.
