Lightfalls, 3M Architectural Markets

By

This glowing lighting system may appear to use several sources, but in actuality, it uses only a single LED. A collaborative product by 3M Architectural Markets and New York designer Todd Bracher, the light is optically directed from one reflector to another, resulting in a cascading luminance with little energy. Lightfalls uses a proprietary film on each reflector that is 98% reflective. 3marchitecturalmarkets.com
