Candle Vibe at D23
by The Eye
Club House
This year, the Club House has a new design. This is an opportunity to shake things up. I have in mind a natural palette and candle atmosphere. This means lots (about 100) of low 1w 2600max LED bulbs preferably not in strings and hidden from direct sight to avoid the hot spot of the bulbs to be in direct contact with the eyes which means we need to come up with a simple solution to create lampshades. Something as simple as rolled sheets of paper. Pallet racks give us tons of opportunities to anchor those light sources. We can use the geometry of the pallet racks as places to tuck many of those lights. Just to be clear, that means that we'd take a break from Pornj in CH23. The only color inside CH23 is provided by the D14 Sign.
Whole Camp
Extending this "candle" vibe to the entire camp would create a very special, intimate and magical vibe and would save a vast amount of energy compared to incandescent lights. Every time we need a space lit, we would use 1w 2600k LED bulbs. This is something that needs everyone's participation and I'm not sure we have the rigor to make it happen, but it would be spectacular if we did. Kitchen is probably one space that would need more light at least during working hours but most areas in camp need just enough light to navigate.
Deliberate light pieces such as playa-cosign]], D14_Sign, Leo Villareal's new piece, John Foster's pieces and our various Signs would stand-out more on this unified and soothing atmosphere.
Some of those examples use actual candles but we can get very similar effect with 1W LED bulbs:
Items needed to make it happen:
A good looking diffuser for each(?) bulb would be a plus.
