Transforming Lamp Built With LED Filaments
A new lamp design by Nick Electronics features a unique transformation capability while lit. The lamp utilizes filament LEDs arranged in interlocking PCBs that rotate around a central shaft. This innovative design allows for dynamic lighting patterns as the layers shift in alignment.
- ▪The lamp is built using thin plastic filaments filled with closely packed LEDs.
- ▪Each PCB layer contains four filaments and interlocks with the next layer for movement.
- ▪A stepper motor and microcontroller control the lamp's transformation and lighting patterns.

Transforming Lamp Built With LED Filaments No comments by: Zoe Skyforest May 21, 2026 Title: Copy Short Link: Copy [Nick Electronics] had an idea to build a stylish lamp that could transform its shape while lit. This goal was achieved beautifully with the aid of many, many filament LEDs. If you’re unfamiliar with filament LEDs, they’re basically thin plastic filaments stuffed with lots of individual LEDs that are very close together. This effectively creates a continuous, flexible, glowing string that can be used for all sorts of creative purposes. [Nick] packed the lights into an interlocking stack of PCBs that make up the lamp’s structure.
