I made this novel magnetic LED lamp from beechwood.
The inspiration came from the Heng ‘Balance Lamp’, popularised by the platform Kickstarter.
I came up with a unique design idea for my magnetic lamp and went to work.
Using steam, I bent the wood into the desired shape.
The light source is an LED strip that was set into the wood.
The strip is controlled by a micro-switch which is activated with the help of two rod magnets S-06-08-N
hidden inside the two wooden discs.
As soon as the magnets attract each other, the wire is tensioned, which activates the micro-switch and lights-up the magnetic lamp.
The way this wooden magnetic lamp works seems almost magical.
The LED strip used here is actually a rather simple lighting element.
But in combination with the unique design, this lamp turns into an eye-catching statement piece – no matter where it is displayed.
