Hello.

Firstly I've had some really good feedback about the website so thank you to those of you who like it! thats a bit of a relief.

I've had a few more thoughts about what direction my project could go in and I have been thinking about the problems people have told me they don't like about energy saving bulbs in terms of the quality of light they give off. Maybe an aspect of product could be to try and match the light qualities: lumens and colour to an incandescent. (Even though I am not technically minded at all) I want to do something with the technologies available to me that is new and interesting but I would also like to solve as many of these problems that people have with current energy savers, and prove to people that they can be good!

I am also interested in how people interact (or don't interact at the moment) with the luminaries in their homes. The most positive feedback I got from the lighting association and it's members was how you had to actually interact with air physically to use it, their comments were that they hadn't really seen anything like this before and it was a really nice idea. I think it would be quite interesting to explore the ways luminaries could communicate with each other, and learn peoples habits/routines so as to know when to provide light and when not to and how much, this could perhaps link to energy consumption.

Any way I think that is enough of a ramble, hope it makes sense, there really only initial thoughts at the moment, and haven't been developed yet in any way.
