<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5844 aligncenter" title="electroluminescent_lamp" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/electroluminescent_lamp.jpg" alt="Electroluminescent Wall Lamp by Marcus Tremonto" width="520" height="751" /></p>
<p>Designer <a href="http://www.treluce.com/">Marcus Tremonto</a> pokes strands of illuminated wires through glossy sheets of <a href="http://www.luciteinternational.com/perspex.asp">Perspex</a> acrylic to create the illusion of 3-dimensional geometric forms.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5849 aligncenter" title="marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_3.jpg" alt="Electroluminescent Lamp by Marcus Tremonto" width="520" height="401" /></p>
<p>While the bright self-lit forms are reminiscent of neon, they actually operate using cool-burning electroluminescent wire, consuming minimal power.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5850" title="marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_4" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_4.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="360" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Numerous wires are precisely manipulated to create amazing sculptural forms, including traditional lamps, chandeliers, as well as more abstract shapes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5848 aligncenter" title="marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/marcus_tremonto_el_lamp_2.jpg" alt="Electroluminescent Lamp by Marcus Tremonto" width="520" height="365" /></p>
<p>Tremento is makes his lighting fixtures in extremely limited editions, and you can find some of his recent works over at <a href="http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=927">Generate LE</a>.</p>
