About tzf

Tim Z Falconer founded Luma League in 2011 after starting the project as a blog to show how to easily make a bili light. Luma League equipment now is in use around the world. Our mission is to bootstrap local tinkerers into locally innovative production by jumpstarting high-added-value local manufacturing via the use of Luma League kits.

Thank You Maker Faire!

Luma League had a great time at Maker Faire Bay Area 2012. Here we see the results of two days of the ”Save a baby – help Luma League MAKE a bili light” demo.

Bruce from Tennessee saw the post on the Make Magazine blog in March and contacted me to ask if there was any way he could help. I soon found him to be a great ally. He’s interested in helping to make circuit boards for the bili lights, and after a flurry of emails back and forth, today I received the first prototype PCB (or actually “Milled Circuit Board”, as it was actually done on a CNC router) in the mail. We’re well on our way to having circuit boards that will make bili lights even simpler to produce!

Thanks Bruce!
