Maker Faire Austin 2008
FireLight by Tom Gerhardt

FireLight is a lighting system controlled by a candle's flame. Taking the position of 'hearth' in the modern home, FireLight can be used as an accent or main light source while still providing the organic qualities of a candle flame.

When the FireLight Candle Module is lit, the FireLight lamp immediately turns on, subtly responds to the candle flame's flickering, and turns off when the candle is blown out.
FireLight uses typical 'tea-light' candles and comes with a recharge base station for the FireLight Candle Module.

This is part of a suite of projects from ITP students and faculty.
