LED filament lightbulbs

noreply@blogger.com (Gil) — Tue, 20 May 2014 09:55:00 +0000

Unlike the usual LED bulbs, in which the LED chips are packed flat in a square metal plate, the LED chips of FiLED bulb are encapsulated in a transparent column of glass or synthetic sapphire, coated with phosphor. This new packaging technology with phosphor molding is called “chip-on-glass” (COG). The column of glass or synthetic sapphire is very tiny, with a diameter of only 1.5mm(0.06inches), but with a length of 30mm(1.18inches). The LED filament is formed after the COG encapsulation process. Using this technology, the LED filaments emit light in all directions, and produce nearly the same full illumination and warm glow of the traditional incandescent light bulbs that people have come to enjoy and appreciate. Using 4 filaments containing 3.6W LEDs(in series or parallel), a brightness of 350 lumens can be achieved. The light efficiency is as high as 100 lumens/w. Using the color rendering index of lighting quality, the FiLED score is 90, which compares well with the benchmark daylight score of 100.

Generative impressionism

Generative Impressionism from Gil on Vimeo.

Impressionism aims to induce a dance of color and movement using harsh brushes of oil on canvas. My program "Generative Impressionism" takes a step beyond by bringing the brushstrokes to life. Each stroke exists on it's own taking the color and path appropriate to it. Alone it flows in the current... but look beyond.

If you take a step back you can perceive a striking image... a living image. Because it is living you must observe it as long as it survives. Like a blooming flower after a while it wilts away so appreciate the fleeting beauty of it.

This processing sketch is the result of some ideas that I've been keeping in my head for a few years. Two full days of train rides through the country gave me the opportunity to prototype them on my laptop. Then I refined them at home resulting in what you see before you. At first I only ran it on paintings but it became clear that it can do so much more so I tried it on a couple of photos.

In the video you see the best results so far:

Starry Night - Vincent van Gogh
Nymph in the grass - Nicolae Grigorescu
Roses - Stefan Luchian
A photo of japanese spring roses from my garden
A photo of me
San Giorgio Maggiore al Crepuscolo - Claude Monet

The music is the Romanian Rhapsody by George Enescu in a special computer generated mix of sampled audio and MIDI tracks. The Romanian Rhapsody and the sampled tracks are public domain.

Maybe I will organize a full exhibition with all the images the program interpreted.

I will post the code on OpenProcessing as soon as I can make it readable.

The story starts when your protagonist bluffs through something.

Another character is a bartender who is your protagonist's favorite musician.

Refresh for another scenario.
