The Cloud Light
Hi,
I am Jiajun Huo. In this project I made a cloud light. This light is aim to help people relax and meditate. It also can improve sleep quality. The cloud lights can change color through mobile phones or computers, and even change color with the change of music. The cloud light made of cotton looks very fancy when it emits light of different colors. So that it can put people in good mood. The cloud light could be Ambient light or reading light by adjusting the brightness.
This design was inspired by vishalsoniindia‘s design. (RGB Rocket Smoke Night Lamp) https://www.instructables.com/RGB-Rocket-Smoke-Night-Lamp-Bluetooth-Controlled/
