3D Illusion Lamp — Vision Sense 3D, Not Real But Amazing

Is there something specific in your mind when you are saying 3D lamp?

There are real 3D lamps. They usually have a line or a grid of LEDs that is whirled around and around; the flickering of various LEDs is sync with the whirling so that at each point where an illusion of an object is needed, the LED at that point will very briefly be on. Some are made with a deflector plate that reflects a stationary grid or line of LEDs, but the basic principle is the same. Unless it’s a photograph or image of a lamp, it’s always 3D. All objects in real life happen to be 3D objects. So a 3D lamp is always existing by this way.

Now I want to say a 3D illusion lamp, it‘s primarily a visual sense and experience, most “3D illusion lamps” provide no real 3D but illusion.

Many, many objects that are sold as “3D illusion lamps” are really nothing of the kind. Most of those are just flat light-up line 2D drawings. Take a transparent acrylic plate. Etch a line drawing on it. Shine a light into the plate from the edge. Observe the line drawing shine dramatically. Nothing 3D about it, just a 2D line drawing that shines.

Insert the acrylic design into the base that has a light source inside will keep that light inside the plate until the light comes to lines in the plate or to another edge. At the lines some of the light will shine out of the plate.
