Short introduction in PDF file An adjustable full colour moodlamp with a cast concrete base. The organic form of the lamp is made by putting a large lycra sock over 2 aluminium rods that are bent over and held by embedded tubes in the base.

The bulk of this instructable is about creating the concrete base. There isn’t much on the electronics – as there is so much already out there about using micros and LEDs.

Content Inside PDF : For first step must be prepared when making the mould such as : I wanted the base to
be heavy,
have adjustable feet,
have recessed panels for the controls and power,
have integrated tubes that will accept the aluminium loops for the fabric form.

The mould was made from melamin coated mdf. The central inserts that will need to be removed after casting were pine, covered in modelling foam and then layers of packing tape. This allows a bit of wiggle for removing the inserts.

Tubes for the aluminium supports were held in place with short lengths of the aluminium rod (also keeps the concrete out). Nuts for the front panels and LED plate were also cast into the concrete
