Heliotrope|Heliostat
a sun-powered day and night lighting system for
architecture and
water features
Simply put, this is a heliotropic photovoltaic-powered system with an associated heliostat to reflect light thru a set of lenses and mirrors, such that a constant stream of focused colored light and wattage is maintained while the sun shines. The focused light is then animated and filtered under DMX-control onto surfaces such as water and walls for daytime color effects, while the wattage charges low voltage LED lights for nighttime displays. Thanks to recent technology advances, it can be assembled from mostly off-the-shelf components.
