We have been developing a method for covering LED panels and walls with semi-translucent materials — a practical approach that allows the technology to remain visually unobtrusive during the day. We refer to this technique as STEALTH LED.

In daylight, the structures appear as sculptural objects, defined mainly by their material surface and form, with the LEDs hidden behind the covering. After sunset, the light begins to pass through the material, giving the objects a second visual character and revealing the underlying technology in a more subtle and diffuse way.

This method allows us to explore how a single structure can shift between two identities: one shaped by its physical presence in the environment, and another defined by light at night. It also offers a way to integrate LED technology into natural or urban surroundings without dominating them.

Our first larger use of this approach was at the LIGHTHOUSE FESTIVAL Croatia in 2019, and since then we have created annual large-scale installations using the STEALTH LED technique.
