Want wallpaper that glows? You can have it, and you can change the color to suit your mood.
Whether you are papering a wall for mood effect, setting a bathtub or hot tub aglow with shimmering lights, or creating a waterfall of color in the shower, LED bulbs are finding their way into your project.
The little light-emitting diodes have been providing energy saving alternatives in electronics, flashlights and general interior lighting. Now, manufacturers are finding new uses in the fields of building products and visual display concepts.
Phillips Corporation offers a form of LED wallpaper, which it hopes will be used in museums, art galleries and for modern home designs with a new lighting twist. The innovation is in collaboration with the Danish firm, Kvadrat Soft Cells. The lights are on a frame of aluminum and acoustical soft panels that can be programmed to emit various colors and patterns of lighting.
Megius, a designer of bathroom appliances, is incorporating LED columns into showers to produce soothing waterfalls of colored hues.
Likewise, the small bulbs are being used for mood effects in bathtubs and hot tubs.
Wall washers of color are being produced to add dramatic color to exterior walls of homes and buildings.
Last but not least, strands of LED lights are already available for both outdoor and indoor Christmas decorating. They can be plugged together to accommodate large lighting projects.
