Description

An elegant and minimal art piece that enhances an environment with its colors while also displaying information. Line recreates data systems through full spectrum control of tri-color LEDs along its five foot array.

Upon recieving Line, it will have 2 programmed functions working right out of the box. One function is a clock, with Red, Green and Blue are attributed to Hours, Minutes, and Seconds creating timed color patterns and overlaps throughout the day. Buttons on the side of the unit allow you to set the hours and minutes. Then the blue color will go back and forth like a pendulum of a clock in 1 second increments. Hours (red) and minutes (green) will count up too until at noon the unit will be all white, then the colors will work down from there. The other function is a slowly morphing color animation along the array's 60 tri-color LEDs, making color patterns form and morph along the minimal strip.

Q. What Payment Methods do you accept?
A. James Clar & Associates currently accepts Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

Q. What future developments for Line will there be?
A. We are currently developing Line to extract live data from a computer. This will allow users to attribute live data to color information, such as weather, temperature, sound, etc to be animated along the array as color patterns.

Q. Can I resell your products to other consumers?
A. Yes, if you are interested in distribution of this item or any other works of James Clar, please email: product@jamesclar.com

Q. What if I want to integrate Line into an interior space/architecture project?
A. Line is self-contained and will run on standard 110v - 240v AC so i's integration into spaces is very efficient. We recommend using the piece on flat, white walls to allow the light gradients to spread and mix.

Q. Can integrate Line into the outside of a building?
A. Line was created for lounges, clubs, building lobbies, hotels and hotel rooms, homes, and other interior spaces. You can use Line outside for night events but it is not all-weather proof. The casing makes the display resistant to wind and smoke, but similar to a regular lamp, rain may cause an electrical shortage and damage the circuitry. If there is a specific project/application where the Square Eclipse needs to be outside on a permanent basis, please email: r_d@jamesclar.com

Q. How long will the LEDs last?
A. Our LEDs are top quality tri-color LEDs and are RoHS compliant. They low-wattage, high output and rated to last up to 10 years.
