Constellation

$2,040.00

A twilight LED lighting system available in each of the Zodiac configurations. 

The stars have inspired and awed each of us at some point. Staring up at the sky on a clear night is a spine-tingling experience - as calming as it is exhilarating. I have memories of walking the sandy shores of Waimarama Beach at night looking up and being able to trace the flow of the Milky Way, losing myself in the stars and for a moment moving beyond the human sense of scale and time. Many cultures have interpreted the stars in their own way, creating stories and legends about those clusters of burning suns millions of miles away. Early astronomers used the stars to predict weather and seasons by identifying twelve constellations linked to the position of the sun throughout the year. These became the Zodiac constellations and with them came a new relationship with the stars.

What's your Zodiac?

The Constellation series is our interpretation of the patterns and relationships of the night sky, at a far smaller scale but still with a sense of the magic that comes with gazing into the heavens. We offer all 12 of the Zodiac constellations, whether you are getting one for yourself or for a gift for someone else.

Flatpack

The system itself is a flat pack system which ships in a lovely small package. Once it arrives each of the components is laid out according to the systems map and the rods snap into the star nodes. Once assembled the supports for each star node are threaded through the canopy and crimped in place using our adjustable crimps. The system is then lifted into position and hardwired into place. Being a low voltage system it is even possible to run the unit from batteries though extra hardware is required for this. The LEDs themselves are rated for over 50,000 hours and each star node can be independently replaced.

Installation

Convergent Wires is where all the wires attach directly to the Canopy. This makes installation easier as there is only one mounting point. However is does have a fixed drop height of 3ft (1m). Vertical Wires is where each wire has its own mounting point. We ship this option with a full scale map to make marking those points easy. This option has an adjustable drop height of between 6” to 60”. For installations of multiple Constellations we recommend Vertical Wires.
