Daniel Rybakken’s Daylight Comes Sideways Animated LED Ambient Wall Light [Offers A New Dawn]

It's been a while since we featured any form of lighting here on TFTS
but the moment we came across this fascinating concept from Norwegian
designer Daniel Rybakken, known simply as '�Daylight Comes Sideways',
which uses a series of dimmable LEDs to not only create false daylight
(an artificial window if you will) but that also ads artificial shadows
allowing for animated details, such as a cloud passing by or a tree
swaying in the wind, we just knew we had to feature it here.

Daniel Rybakken’s Daylight Comes Sideways consists of a
semitransparent, acrylic screen beneath which an array of LEDs are
controlled dynamically to produce light and shadow - thus allowing this
novel and extremely cool wall light to show animated details that appear
blurred in a somewhat tantalising, and no doubt especially captivating,
fashion through the screen.

Purportedly capable of working via a timer, allowing to you be gradually
woken by the gradual dawning of artificial sunlight or slowly eased to
sleep as the LEDs gradually fade away (mimicking a false dusk) we have
no idea as to whether this concept will ever see the light of day
(excuse the all to deliberate pun) but there's no doubt that Daniel
Rybakken’s Daylight Comes Sideways would be warmly welcomed by
those suffering from Seasonally Adjusted Depression (SAD) as well as
those, like us, who know that such a light would see us positively
transfixed for hours on end.
