Sky-inspired lighting
"Vibe o’ Clock" mirrors the sky's natural rhythm, turning on at sunrise and adapting its colors throughout the day. From bright daytime hues to warm sunsets, it switches off completely as night falls, blending seamlessly with nature's cycle.
Design & materials
Crafted from specially designed plexiglass for LED lighting, the lamp combines a modern aesthetic with optimal light diffusion. Its minimalist design makes it a stylish addition to any space.
Technology
Equipped with Bluetooth-enabled LED strips, "Vibe o’ Clock" connects to phone for easy customization. Adjust brightness, colors, or sync with other devices for a personalized lighting experience.
Natural connection
By reflecting the sky’s beauty, "Vibe o’ Clock" brings nature indoors, creating a serene and harmonious atmosphere that enhances mood and well-being.

Fun facts and experience from project
Originally, I wanted the lamp to have a black light or starry night effect, but with RGB LEDs, not possible yet.
Discovered that there are many types of opal plexiglass, each blurring light differently—it even depends on how close the LEDs are to the glass.
Learned the hard way that the basic €40 LED strip adhesive doesn’t last—after a few months, it just falls off.
Didn’t plan the wiring well, and the LEDs wouldn’t work with my personal powerbanks.
Synchronizing the colors was way more challenging than I expected, especially keeping it aligned with the day’s natural light.
Next time, I’ll collaborate with weather apps to make the lamp even more dynamic and interactive.
