Behind the scenes of ModuGlow
What is ModuGlow? ModuGlow is modern, modular, organic lamp that can be anything between night lamp to art sculpture. It's built from 10x10cm panels containing 25 blinking bulbs. It can be stacked in 2 axis to provide arbitrary size lamp. Video showing 2x2 combination working. Neon behavior Neon bulbs exhibit S type dynamic negative resistance. If you understood last sentence feel free to skip this paragraph. Negative dynamic resistance is a behavior of some electric circuits when with increasing current current decreases or the other way around with increasing voltage current decreases. In neon bulbs it manifests itself between strike and maintain voltage. When bulb strikes the voltage starts to drop due to series resistor. Dropping voltage makes bulb want to draw more power further lowering voltage until negative resistance region ends near maintain voltage. That way bulb "turns on" at higher, striking voltage while "maintains on" at lower maintaining voltag
