Window-less rooms can benefit from the faux-portal that is Makoto Hirahara's Bright Blind, mimicking your classic blinded window. The electroluminescent slats lit by a hidden light source are so convincing, we'd be fooled at first glance. Bright Blind operates identically to its "real" cousin, with the turning rod controlling the intensity of light.

ingenious !!
New York designer Harry Allen did a very similar light in 2000.

re harry allen, yes similar, but does not appear to be as realistic, soothing, or beneficial as the BB (to those who crave sunlight).
