When I saw this story I didn't recognize the model number and I thought "Hey, is that the Rez lamp?" sure enough...
Cool project indeed. I used to own the first model and thought about how one could motorize the lamp. I used to own the one which didn’t have the reflected coating on the inside panels. At least in Germany they changed that a few years back from plain white to silver or gold reflection. And now the lamp is also available in bigger sizes. I bought it like most because of the interesting design. But was never really pl…

Never seen a light fixture that screws into the ceiling.
I bought one of those ikea lamps, but never put it into service because it was a hardwired lamp, which made it a "project" installation.

It might be easier to use ikea ceiling lamps this way.
