Strum 28 is music made visible: glowing strings of light on your wall.
The Design Story
Mick De Giulio drew Strum from the lines of a stringed instrument.
Its light falls in fine strings across the surface around it.
Why You'll Love It
It is pure atmosphere, a wall that plays at night.
Made for Real Life
There are no bulbs to change: the LED is built in. Give it a rinse with mild soapy water now and then to keep the finish fresh. Pair it with an LED-compatible ELV, TRIAC or 0-10V dimmer for evening light.
