In a world where modularity and sustainability are becoming essential in design, the OpenStructures LED tube tries to redefine the way we think about lighting. Developed within the OpenStructures framework, this innovative light fixture aligns with the principles of circularity, adaptability, and shared design, proving that lighting can be both functional and future-proof.
This collaboration between OpenStructures and Vivalyte is a statement about the future of design. By embracing open-source principles, the LED Tube is designed to be easily assembled, modified, repaired, and repurposed, ensuring longevity and reducing waste.
OpenStructures is an open-source modular construction framework where designers create components that seamlessly fit within a shared grid. The LED tube follows this same logic:
* Modular and reconfigurable – Designed to be disassembled and adapted to different setups, it fits effortlessly into a variety of architectural and interior applications.
* Sustainable and repairable – Unlike conventional fixtures that become obsolete, the Tube Light is made to last. Every part can be replaced or repurposed, supporting a circular economy.
* Designed for everyone – By following the OpenStructures grid, this light is not just a standalone fixture but a building block for limitless design possibilities. It comes with efficient LEDs and a built-in 24V adapter so that a regular outlet can be used.
Vivalyte contributed to this vision by developing a custom LED lighting solution that integrates seamlessly into the modular system while ensuring high efficiency, durability, and precision control.
To maintain the versatility and sustainability of the design, Vivalyte provided:
* A quality LED lighting system – Highly efficient LED modules deliver uniform, high-quality illumination while keeping energy consumption low.
* Plug-and-play integration – Designed to be easily connected within the OpenStructures framework, allowing for rapid deployment in various applications.
* Scalability and flexibility – The LED tube can be expanded, connected, or modified depending on the space and lighting needs, creating an adaptable system that grows with its environment.
The OpenStructures LED tube is more than just a product—it’s an open-ended system that encourages experimentation and adaptability. It invites designers, architects, and makers to reimagine lighting as part of a greater modular ecosystem, where components can be shared, upgraded, or repurposed over time. By merging design, sustainability, and technology, this project showcases how lighting can be redefined through collaboration and innovation.
