Spectral Field System
Rae Douglass invented the means to shape multi-colored light patterns onto surrounding surfaces with light reflected off of a flexible diffraction surface. The Spectral Field system creates mural effects with light and color. Rae has adapted this technique for use in light fixtures, sculpture and environmental signage.
In the “Galaxy Spot” the diffraction surface is a repurposed CD mounted below the indirect downspot.
In the “Meteor” sconces pictured above, the flexible diffraction surface is laminated to the rear side of a pliable copper shade that can be laser-cut to any custom shape.
Spectral Light Tube
Rae Douglass invented the means to produce a field of multi-colored light that appears to emanate from the center of a hollow tube or solid rod. The key to this invention is the alignment of the diffraction surface into a tubular structure. The light field appears to vary in color as a person views it from different angles and positions. . Rae has adapted this technique for use in light fixtures, sculpture and environmental signage. Rae has also devised a means to wrap flexible suspension cables with the surface to create monumental color displays. The diffraction surface is illuminated with a remote white light source that can also be the sun.
