During Milan design week 2012, German-born, London-based new media designer Moritz Waldemeyer presents his LED candles, showcasing the soft lighting pieces in a threaded chandelier, as well as scattered throughout the space as candlesticks. Each ‘candle’ is an individual unit, comprised of a custom-designed 250-LED panel and circuitry. Waldemeyer explains that he programmed the behaviour of the ‘flame’ based on video footage of actual candles, converting the moving imagery to pixel data and working with a software engineer to code each individual LED to reflect the movement of the flame.
