    Prototype is proof-of-concept for a series of dynamic lighting fixtures.

    The glow of neon light escapes the industrial-styled fixture through a perforated, vent-like faceplate; instead of delivering air, this fixture brings shifting ambient light to the room.

    Employing neon lights and custom control circuitry, Prototype cycles through a sixty-step sequence over the span of an hour, or a minute, depending on user preference via a switch, providing the choice of conspicuously variable lighting -- ticking away like a clock -- or colour patterns that vary less noticeably over a period of time.

    Future fixtures will feature various new face-plate designs, new sequences, and sensors to vary the fixture's behaviour in response to its surroundings -- creating dynamic, time-based lighting fixtures that mark time and memory.

    Prototype fixtures are stocked in limited quantities and available by commission, are easily wall mounted, and use standard AC/DC adapters for power, making them well suited for accent lighting in bars, cafes, lobbies, etc.
