This small lamp is based on geometry developed by a member of the Grasshopper forum I frequent. He used C++ code to first generate a modified 12 sided icosahedron, and then used this to establish points in space that served as the centers for spheres. He then used these spheres to cut concave shapes in the initial icosahedron. The resulting shape is what I used as the basis for this lamp.
Here are 2 short videos that show the lamp with LED light on and off:
Can you see both hexagons and pentagons in the design? Look again if you can't.
This lamp is designed to hold any one of several LED lights called "puck" lights. You can get these powered by either batteries of wall power. This blog page has links for wall powered lights that work well: http://birkbinnard.com/blog/wall-powered-led-lights/. For many more options just Google "led puck lights."
