2021 Lighten Up – Detroit Section

Luminaire Name: What the Faculae (Runners Up)
Team Name: Illumineighbors
Section Name: IES Detroit Section
Luminaire Description: Faculae is the plural of Facula. A Facula is a bright region on the surface of the sun linked to the subsequent appearance of sunspots in the same area. The futuristic pendant light allows for various “bright regions” illuminating “planets” on the perimeter of the fixture housing, creating a multi-faceted lightsource. The bottom of the fixture is open and the top of the fixture is unpainted to provide additional indirect lighting and visual interest.

Luminaire Name: Play With Me (Winner)
Team Name: November Eight Bravo Romeo Golf (Jeanne Campbell & Christopher Campbell)
Section Name: IES Detroit Section
Luminaire Description: Luminaire was made from old barn wood, scrap pine wood and toilet paper. In the future we think luminaires will be made from recycled materials due to high rising cost of raw materials. Not only will interactive controls be popular but so will luminaires! The front pieces are held on by magnets and can be added or removed to control the light coming out the front of the luminaire. This gives the user the ability to interact with the luminaire and change it as often as they like.
