From a dilettante’s point of view ? Lovely ,lovely.
Can you dim or increase the light ? The more “fairy tale” the better. Is it energy efficient? Also I would prefer a more contained look to all the seperate cords ie a pipe or tube.

I wonder what the wattage is. My guess is its more than 150W (91 x 4 x .5W). Not exactly energy efficient. LEDs lumens per watt will decrease if they get too hot (no heat sink) and their lifespan will be shorter.

Did you put the chandelier into production?
What’s the price of it? I could use it for one client, depending upon its price.
Thank you

Zippy its the same concept as those monofilament lights but a more sophisticated version.

400 in a evening, no sweat, set up a simple jig to hold the leds and get busy (gang 4 in chain, solder, when done attach to arms). The ‘custom bent wire” please, I have been building stuff like this (and way more complex) for over 30 years….

I suppose I have a personal bias because I know the designer, but that lamp CANNOT be built in an evening (for starters, who can solder nearly 400 LEDs in a night). Each of those “strands” is a custom bent piece of copper strategically placed to disperse the light evenly. Yes, fiber optics have improved since the 80s but those strings of mono filament provided light to be looked at, not light to actually illuminate a space. Your concerns about the soldering breaking could be a valid point, except that having exposed solder points could not live up to any code (having them covered or hidden would remove that risk) and furthermore, who goes around playing with their chandeliers like that anyway? This is not the size of a toy you hold in your hand, its large enough to hang over a dining table comfortably.
