iLIGHT is an Interactive Installation that raises awareness about energy saving while using latest advancements within Light Design. A prototype presented within the Professional Lighting Design Convention 2015, is supported by Zumtobel, Roblon, Energolux, VIA-Verlag, Direct-Line Inox and Interactive Design.

iLIGHT Interactive Installation, currently in Design Phase, raises awareness on energy saving by using new lighting design solutions and renewable energy sources. The passersby activate the installation which fades out slowly as they move away. The focus is on transmitting this knowledge to the public and creating a dynamic pattern. The interactive space also includes the concept of drawing with light, as being activated by the presence of the passersby and their gestures. Besides being artistically, it will be educative as well, using new lighting technologies and creating a space that would take into account the user, be welcoming and intriguing, unique and interesting in the same time. LED as well as OLED is a technology that is used today due to its low energy consumption, but also the possibility of integrating it within other materials, glass for example, and creating composite high-tech materials. Media Architecture is one field that uses this LED technology that allows to the creation of some dynamic spaces and visually challenging solutions. iLIGHT is intended for indoor as well as outdoor spaces and a prototype was presented within the Professional Lighting Design Convention in 2015 in Rome. https://www.coroflot.com/InteractiveDesign/iLIGHT
