LED Lamp

Alexandar Haubold has managed to create a multicolored touchpad/Ethernet-controlled LED lamp. It features two shades, each housing 252 LEDs -- divided into clusters that "can be addressed individually at one of 23 different brightness levels". The touchpad is separated into five different regions that control the intensity of each color. Overall, the LED lamp was quite a costly project -- $3,857.46 to be exact. Video clip after the jump.

Um, to complex for a lamp if you ask me. If it was under 100 bucks id buy it.

Why do americans charge so much for leds that cost 2 cents to make?

I think it is because of the touchpad and because of the actually structure it costs so much but hell I think they should sell it for like 60 or 70 $

hey, guys... I am guessing that that amount of money was to pay for the entire 2 year process to make it...materials, you name it over the two years. The actual unit, IF they were to market it, would probably sell for around 150 dollars (guess). I am also thinking that this project was someone's senior design project at an engineering college. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Jeez guys, some reading comprehension please. These aren't selling for 4g, it TOOK 4g to make. As in materials, R&D, etc. This isn't a marketed product yet, it's just a project. You need to learn to read and understand before you judge.

The touch pads are SPI interface retail units, there are like 10 different companies that make them. I think retail is like $2.50 for the chip, then a dollar bucks to make a capacitive array. Controlling that many leds, I'de figure that they can't control EACH led separately, but rather groups. DSP or uC with some expanders. Certainly doesn't need to be fast so I be any micro would do. The expensive part is the CNC machined peices. The idea is dumb however, LEDS are not very good ambient lights, too narrow of a wave length. I can see why it cost that much for the prototype, esp. if they don't own thier own cnc mill and lathe. But its still dumb

I'm sad it is not for sale. I would have paid $250 for it.
