I like when people take risks with color too but I have never seen an instance of projected, color light in a residential setting that didn't look forced and cheap. I'm sure someone will come up with an application for this technology that's appropriate for home use, these shower heads ain't it.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-37766556674928600752010-05-20T11:08:48.729-04:002010-05-20T11:08:48.729-04:00I don't believe in chromatherapy for artificia...I don't believe in chromatherapy for artificial lighting. But I do believe that taking risks with color is a good thing.<br /><br />Admittedly most people overdo it, and in small residential spaces it's even tougher to pull off.<br /><br />But as an architect who has been conditioned to be completely terrified of color, I admire those who take chances with mixing color and light.Caitlin Walshhttp://www.gpidesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-62993722660247502092010-05-20T11:02:08.423-04:002010-05-20T11:02:08.423-04:00but.. but.. a red LED shower would work so well in...but.. but.. a red LED shower would work so well in a Psycho-themed bathroom!

Equally amazing is the violent reaction I get when I demand evidence that a pseudo-scientific cure or idea works. Ask a Feng Shui snake oil salesman for proof that Feng Shui does anything but rope in gullible people some time.
