Project Location New York, NY
Entry Description

Constellation is a scalable LED lighting system designed to be assembled into precise arrangements that, combined with others, form fixture configurations. By definition, a constellation is a group of stars in a fixed relationship to each other that combine to form patterns along a running path. The collection mimics this phenomenon with a series of preconfigured constellations that are built from LED hubs, connecting arms, and cable ceiling hangers. Illumination radiates through either white optical acrylic lenses or sparkles with refracted light through micro-faceted clear acrylic crystal lenses. Each hub is a complete LED light engine, using an array of LEDs with driver circuitry on each of the two faces of the hub. Available pre-configurations include Aquila Minor, Aquila Major, Ursa Minor and Ursa Major, and each can be suspended as individual sculptures or clustered with others to form an arrangement of magical constellations.
