My Heliostat mirrors the sun to a lamp which has a diachronic film and refracts the light into all possible colors to light my room.

The heliostat was build using a 3D Printer after the first wooden version didn't work properly anymore. The device is controlled with an ESP32 using ESPHome.

Thank you for sharing your thought process and showing us the progression of hardware. Very ingenious. Congratulations for the excellent final build and design. Please post any progression with your device.

Thank you. I just wanted to tell the story what I did. I think the technical details are probably boring for most viewers. What details would be interesting for you?

@@justmakeanyting9561 How is your material holding up outside? What are your seasonal temperature variations in your city/state? I put a regular hand mirror outside reflecting into a window....the amount of light is amazing. I was also thinking of using a solar panel, battery, and light bulb to deliver the sun's energy into a specific room. Thanks.

Up to now, the 3D printed material does not show any deterioration, but it is somewhat protected against rain from a balcony above. I am in climate zone 8a from about -10 to +35 degrees Celsius. A fixed mirror is probably also cool to get some light inside when you don't care where it reflects to. Using a solar panel and a lamp is probably not worth it since you are loosing the high intensity of the beam, but you could also give it a try.

Also das Lichtspiel an der Lampe sieht wirklich toll aus. Jetzt kommen wir zu wichtigsten Frage. Wo gibts denn diese schöne Lampe. :-)

Das ist die IKEA KARISMATISK Lampe. Ich hatte die in dem Instructable (nicht von mir): www.instructables.com/Dichroic-Lamp-LEDs-But-No-RGBs/ gesehen. Daraufhin habe ich sie mir gekauft. Leider war es eine Limited Edition und es gibt sie schon seit Jahren nicht mehr.
