My Family And I Created A Led Angel Wing Light Sculpture Using 300 Recycled Water Bottles
Iluminosas’ (Illuminous Angel Wings) is an animated LED Angel Wings sculpture that uses color-changing LED pixels inside of 300 recycled water bottles. The wingspan is 10 ft wide using different types of recycled plastic water bottles to create the look of feathers. Each bottle has a color-changing LED pixel that can be discreetly controlled to create dynamic patterns across the feathers and wings.
We came up with the idea when we saw all these empty water bottles leftover from my son’s soccer game. We decided to create a new display using these bottles for our Christmas light show that allows people to stop and take a photo while reminding everyone to be conscious of recycling.
The light patterns that illuminate each bottle can be controlled in different ways such as projecting across the entire wingspan or only on certain areas like the edges of the wings or internally. Each bottle was rotocast with a thin white resin to diffuse the light evenly throughout the bottle.
