say hello to dusk
a unique wall clock that changes shades
when time goes by we designed dusk to
adapt its colors and transparency
depending on the time of day at dawn the
light shades of grey started the cycle
of your day and while the day progresses
the shades turn darker
you
and darker
until the dusk turns into a night shade
of black
this cycle from start to finish takes 12
hours to turn dark and another 12 hours
to become light again dusk is incredibly
easy to install and calibrate to any
time Joe
dusk never look at time the same way
again
so this is the bulb that has actually
been up to space and past the drop test
from a hundred thousand feet back to
earth
the world is switching to LED but LEDs
are kind of pretty horrible at the
moment doing products with lightbulbs
we've experienced a notice that the
light that we want is not really what we
can find in the market lighting has a
really big role in how we feel and
recreating this filament with this new
design that sort of characterizes fire
at the same time create something that
is also energy efficient and that's
really where the idea of art came out
before we start flights we used to send
things up into space now that we've
gotten to making crazy levitating light
bulbs we thought we want to send
something from flights up into space the
idea of nature and lightness and then
kind of fit perfectly with the idea of
our launch so we went in the middle of
nowhere in one of the darkest days of
the year
it's freezing here it's more on the
coldest and darkest places to be we're
going to set a light bulb free by
putting it on a near space balloon we've
done a few film shoots here at flight
and we have never done anything where
you spend weeks preparing but as soon as
you let go you can't do anything
a lot of preparation is necessary timing
is critical it's about 95 percent
planning and 5% execution every little
angular of the cameras every little
sensor everything has to be perfect
there is no adjustment afterwards
we managed to pull it off then we had
the challenge of actually finding and
after three or four hours we didn't get
any communication from our rig we had a
problem with the GPS transponder we
think it's because of the extreme cold
it's minus 60 up there that's when our
team sort of gave up on the idea of ever
recovering it again but the next day we
got a call from a local ice fisherman an
ice fisherman found it the next morning
in the middle of nowhere so it was a
really nice interesting mix of
randomness and human kindness that
brought this whole project together
we all know the advantages of having LED
lights in our homes in offices
everywhere the thing is that with this
advancement we forgot about one
important factor is that LE days to be
appreciated they must also look nice we
want to make an affordable version one
that can hang in bars and cafes and
homes all around the world our LEDs last
30,000 light hours so that's 14 years at
6 hours a day so if they're gonna be
lasting a long time they might as well
look really nice we're working with one
of the best manufacturers in the world
but nevertheless we still needs your
help with your support on this journey
we could really bring this product to
life
and set the light bulb free so this is
the actual light bulb that's being up to
space as much as we'd love to keep it we
do plan on letting one lucky backer take
it home so if you're into the idea of
having something in your home or
business that has been into the
stratosphere this might be the pledge
that will for you thank you
