even the Castiglioni version is very poor for energy use and that was/is in serial production. even if this was a single commission surely the designer should have greater responsibility for energy use. Finally i would like to measure the temperature of this after a few hours use. if it is over a certain amount it would not pass regulations anyway as it would be ‘cooking’ the wires..

[...] Now that Halloween is over, the next reason to design interesting stuff is the New Year’s Eve. That’s what Daniel Becker must have thought when coming up with the Tea Light Supernova (Tee Licht). It looks a lot like those fancy crystal balls you see in bars and discos, just that this one must be a great addition in your living room. Using nothing less than 140 tea lights and small low voltage bulbs instead of flames, the shady light must be really interesting and comfortable. [via YankoDesign] [...]

You are right in this point, that’s for sure not very economic – but I can overlook that as it’s a one-off without (?) intention for serial production.

Carl, I don’t agree concerning the rip off – the lights are completely different in their appearance and have totally different constructions, too! Look at this one, it is empty inside without cables…seems that the current runs through the structure.

Ok even if these ‘low wattage’ lamps are 1w each it does not take proffessor Hawking to work out thats a 140w luminaire.! thats a little high.

point 2 how much profit from the design goes to castiglioni for ripping him off?

It looks alright alright, but I don’t see what deserves a mention in this design..
