Orelume Light

How the photo light works

A lithophane turns a photograph into a relief with varying thickness. Thinner areas let more light through; thicker areas let less through. Together, they reveal the photograph in light and shadow.

The Orelume Light pairs one custom Orelume Plate with an illuminated Orelume Stand. The plate is 3D printed in translucent white PLA. Unlit, it appears as an ivory relief; with the stand switched on, neutral-white light reveals the image.

One stand, an interchangeable portrait

The portrait plate slides into the stand and can be lifted out to change the image. Another Reeflooma Orelume Plate can use the same stand. The stand has a matte, light wood-tone 3D-printed finish; it is not made from wood.

Choosing a portrait for the plate

Choose the clearest original photograph you have, with even lighting and visible detail in the face or subject. The visible area is portrait shaped, so leave room around the subject. A wide group photo or a face already cropped at the edge gives less flexibility when fitting the image.

Looking for a smaller keepsake with a keyring? The Nimelle Heart reveals a photograph when held to an external light, rather than using an illuminated stand.
