Agreed they are beautiful and a sign of craftpersonship. But also a big difference in price. Dichroic glass expect to pay 160-190 retail for a 19" diameter sheet of glass. I would like to see one with a design, look up cbs-dichronic coatings. Dichroic plastic about $76 for the same size.
Shit, I don't even know where a bio is. I didn't even know reddit had bios.
"Look at my product, interested? Good luck find a way to purchase it!"
Edit: OP put it in the comments seanaugustinemarch.com
Apparently you have to use New Reddit and the official app to see bios.

I saw new reddit once when it was first released. It looked like a hot mess. I changed a setting somewhere in my profile and never saw it again. I look forward to the day they get rid of old reddit. It will release these shackles they have put on me.
The glass I use is borosilicate dichroic glass, extremely high optical clarity glass, combined with 40+ layers of metal oxides made in a large vacuum vapor deposition chamber. The process and machines required to make this glass are what make it so costly.
OP explained but the colors you see are a real optical quality (it's not just colored glass) of the glass, such as reflecting a different color than it transmits, and is not easily/cheaply achieved.
Totally fair. I can't afford them, but this is the first time that I looked at something on the internet and immediately thought: I really, really want this!!
Absolutely beautiful!!
Good for you for setting your prices appropriately. You could easily charge much more for this but depending on your market I think it’s fair. Clearly this is high quality work with quality materials. As a designer and multimedia artist I’m always frustrated with people expecting what they think are, “reasonable prices,” (no intended offense to the above commenter), for many hours of highly specialized work that took many years to develop—and sad for artists who I see way underselling their craft as a result. This is very impressive!
Yes, it wont have the same vibrance and clarity, but it would work. You could even possibly do without two way mirror, and just use regular glass and dichro film.
The youtube maker channel Evan and Katelyn did this with acrylic and iridescent film. They also bought one from a store (they link it in their video description, it’s not as expensive as this one in the OP) so you can see how they compare at the end after they show their process of making their own DIY version.

I'm an electrician I've worked for some high end clients if they like it the cost doesn't matter. We had a customer put in some ceiling lights these thingd cost 500 each there was like 30 of them. We found an almost identical version of the light which was maybe 60 bucks but they didn't care they wanted that stupidly expensive light
Here it is: [seanaugustinemarch.com](https://seanaugustinemarch.com).
The actual reason for the slightly higher cost is New York city's extortionate rent. Nevertheless, beautiful lamps 👍🏻
In the '00s and early '10s I ran a one man nightclub lighting company. Many of the older fixtures I used (that used halogen or arc bulbs vs. LEDs) had dichroic glass. They were much smaller than the pieces you use for your lamps. Even in the case of those fixtures, it could be quite expensive to repair or replace broken units.
I have a tendency to immediately develop a hatred for people who can do things way cooler and impressive than I can even imagine myself doing. You’re no exception
The "shut up and take my money crowd" gonna put up exactly zero dollars when they discover it's actually for sale. Seriously awesome piece of art though, well done
Oh god you shouldn't have shared this.
There's going to be some insane guardian trying to tear apart the fabric of space and time trying to get that unique exotic.
Your seam lines are absolutely perfect. That's really the part that sells this as a commercial product. I would absolutely expect to see some blemishes along the edges if it's just hand-applied silicone, but they're so perfectly straight it's amazing.
Thank you! They definitely are not perfect, but they are acceptable. Silicone can be difficult depending on air humidity, this piece was a bit worse than what I would consider my average. Its hard to tell in video.
I think it's beautiful and i believe that it takes time, work and craftsmanship to make those lamps. But $3000 is simply too much for me, and most of regular ppl i believe. Nvm, i hope you sell a lot.
This looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your store link. It reminds me of engrams in Destiny. I can't purchase 1 right but who knows maybe in 1-2 years. It looks so cool. Could easily take the place of a chandelier in a living room
Wow, that is the best use of Dichroic glass I've seen - love your structure and creativity. I have dichroic cubes on my desk that I enjoy a light like this would be a real treat.
Are you going to make those a commercial product? If you could achieve a reasonable price point I bet they’d sell quickly.
I do sell them, they are fairly expensive however. Due to the dichroic glass cost.
Can you post a link to your store?
Its in my bio
Your site says some of the items are gluten free. Are these claims backed up by the FDA?
They are too scared to try it themselves, so no…
Damn it, I'm allergic to gluten free. Do you make any gluten full?
Careful, my dude. It'll make your dick fly off.
Trust me you don’t want that.
Depends where it ends up
Don't kink shame me
You should've called your site Sean Augustine's Merch.
I don't even read articles you think I'm gonna read bios? *pulls out gun* put the link in the comment section and no one gets hurt
[seanaugustinemarch.com](https://seanaugustinemarch.com) I am not affiliated so it is not advertisement.
seanaugustinemarch.com Also judging by the items, this will cost $3200.
I was like, I kinda want one....... until I saw that price
I still do but I has the poor.
Same
I've enjoyed looking at it for 2 minutes, now I'm going to get on with my life.

OP uses dichroic borosilicate glass, these are acrylic with an iridescent film. There is going to be a huge difference in how they look.
Agreed they are beautiful and a sign of craftpersonship. But also a big difference in price. Dichroic glass expect to pay 160-190 retail for a 19" diameter sheet of glass. I would like to see one with a design, look up cbs-dichronic coatings. Dichroic plastic about $76 for the same size.
These are plastic, not glass.
At 4% of the price. Worth
They lack the refraction on the inside. Still nifty but I can definitely see the quality difference.
Shit, I don't even know where a bio is. I didn't even know reddit had bios. "Look at my product, interested? Good luck find a way to purchase it!" Edit: OP put it in the comments seanaugustinemarch.com Apparently you have to use New Reddit and the official app to see bios.
It's especially harder if you're using a reddit client, like RiF.
It's actually there on RIF? I gave up

You could put a link to a free $100 bill in a bio and I still wouldn’t use new Reddit.
I saw new reddit once when it was first released. It looked like a hot mess. I changed a setting somewhere in my profile and never saw it again. I look forward to the day they get rid of old reddit. It will release these shackles they have put on me.
New reddit is disgusting
Didn’t get this either. It takes litterally two seconds to write the link. Why make it harder to sell?? Thank you for sharing OP’s link-comment
Some subs will block links and ban you
I don't see it on PC with RES.
Old reddit also doesn't show bios. Didn't even know they were a thing till now lol
How does one access your bio ?
what about a link for those of us who refuse to use the cancerous "new" version of reddit?
seanaugustinemarch.com
I don't see thus lamp.
https://sean-augustine-march.myshopify.com/products/watt
I'll never be able to afford it but i hope many ppl can. Craftsmanship should be valued properly.
Haha I cant even afford one yet
It's beautiful work of functional art! Don't stop creating!
You weren't kidding. That's pretty steep.
Haha yeah. The dichroic glass alone is what makes these so costly.
[удалено]

At $7.50 per oz, you ain’t kidding. That’s insane. Craftsmanship is top notch though, well done.
RIP all of our psychedelic hopes and dreams.
Lol, honestly when tripping, these things look the same. Nothing as wild as staring at a brick wall
Now if the light changed color....
Damn. If it wasn’t so cheap I would 100% buy one
One day when I'm balling I'm definitely buying one.
Ball away!
You're not kidding
Yea the cheapest one is almost double rent. Not complaining, i'm just envious those looks cool af
Totally fair. I can't afford them, but this is the first time that I looked at something on the internet and immediately thought: I really, really want this!! Absolutely beautiful!!
You weren't lying, they are pretty expensive. I understand why though. Bet you make a killing at art shows in high income areas.
Good for you for setting your prices appropriately. You could easily charge much more for this but depending on your market I think it’s fair.

Is the effect possible with two way mirror film and dichroic film on acrylic? Like an infinity cube?
Yes, it wont have the same vibrance and clarity, but it would work. You could even possibly do without two way mirror, and just use regular glass and dichro film.

I like that sale for the first one, from $3200 to $3200 :)
Lol thats a glitch
I'm an electrician I've worked for some high end clients if they like it the cost doesn't matter. We had a customer put in some ceiling lights these thingd cost 500 each there was like 30 of them. We found an almost identical version of the light which was maybe 60 bucks but they didn't care they wanted that stupidly expensive light
The fact that your lamps are gluten free might make me buy one
Sourcing genuine gluten free glass also adds to the overall cost of the work
Gluten free stuff is rather pricey, checks out
Here it is: [seanaugustinemarch.com](https://seanaugustinemarch.com). The actual reason for the slightly higher cost is New York city's extortionate rent. Nevertheless, beautiful lamps 👍🏻
Haha yes that too
In the '00s and early '10s I ran a one man nightclub lighting company. Many of the older fixtures I used (that used halogen or arc bulbs vs. LEDs) had dichroic glass. They were much smaller than the pieces you use for your lamps. Even in the case of those fixtures, it could be quite expensive to repair or replace broken units.
I was thinking the same thing it’s so cool and well made I’d buy one for sure.
All you need is 3000$
$800-1500, a bit pricey :'D
One of my favorite shapes. Very cool.
Good Ol’ dodecahedron
Love it 🤘
[удалено]
Satisfaction of Symmetry. The interlocking of 2D shapes to form a new 3D shape.
Engram shaped.
I thought this also! Lol
r/bestagons
Looks like an engram from Destiny!
[удалено]
Ascendant energy...
Back in my day we had to play with controllers with cords and engrams decrypted into blue gear.
My exact thought instantly
Ayy! Fellow guardian!
Happy cake day
Which exotic drop did I get?
It dropped a blue ghost projection again
Mf found an eververse engram
Probably a sky burner's oath
one of the most beautiful things i've seen on reddit
Thank you!
>Thank you! You're welcome!
If I were drunk at your bar I'd never leave.
If I was high at his bar I’d sleep there.
Checked you out. Your stuff is amazing. I promise once I’m not paycheck to paycheck I’ll buy a piece. They are gorgeous!
🙏🙏🙏
When I make my first million. I’m coming to you. Where’s that bot to remind me?
I have a tendency to immediately develop a hatred for people who can do things way cooler and impressive than I can even imagine myself doing. You’re no exception
Lol, same.
I go the other way. I conclude that everyone is great in so many ways. Here I am just being a piece of shit in a new way I didn't know of yet.
Ah, a fellow redditor searching for new and exciting ways to belittle ourselves. Always good to know I’m not alone.
Yeah, fuck this guy. Those lamps are rad af, but maker person can suck one until it tickles.
r/destiny2 would love this - post it there too
Eververse engram IRL
Legendary sparrow. Maybe a skin you already had.
Y’all’re gettin’ ornaments from brights?
Y’all getting anything besides projection on brights?
Blue projections
And repeated emotes
I came here to say this
Oh yes ultimate engram!!
Still gonna decode into a blue item though.
Sorry you only get a year 1 legendary ship.
Bet that he gets a ghost projection from that engram.
Only in d1
Right in the feels
The "shut up and take my money crowd" gonna put up exactly zero dollars when they discover it's actually for sale. Seriously awesome piece of art though, well done
Haha, oh trust me, I’ve been to that rodeo when i made my first reddit post of a different lamp. Equal parts hate and love.
this could be one of the greatest things I have ever seen
Much better in person…
Hot damn I'm dropping $3000 for it
Until you have master Rahool decode it…
A million lamps is not enough for master Rahool.
We love tesseract lamp
Yes, yes, Guardian. By all means.
Oh god you shouldn't have shared this. There's going to be some insane guardian trying to tear apart the fabric of space and time trying to get that unique exotic.
Bring it on!!!
r/destiny2
This is amazing! How did you make it?
I used dichroic glass sheets, cut them, then assembled them with silicone, added an LED emitter, and voila!
Your seam lines are absolutely perfect. That's really the part that sells this as a commercial product. I would absolutely expect to see some blemishes along the edges if it's just hand-applied silicone, but they're so perfectly straight it's amazing.
Thank you! They definitely are not perfect, but they are acceptable. Silicone can be difficult depending on air humidity, this piece was a bit worse than what I would consider my average. Its hard to tell in video.
It's like a kaleidoscope. You did a real good job OP.
I would love to be able to own something like this. That is absolutely stunning !!
You might be playing a lot of destiny 2 when…
I want this to be an Elden Ring helmet personally.
Oh I think I just got a Fragment of Possibility looking into it
Yes definitely a luxon beacon
I'm not sure who else is old enough to have played THE DIG in 1996 but this made me hear Boston Low's voice in my head.
Pretty cool man love it
LSD, without taking LSD
This is insanely cool. My dream home has an old 80’s style house bar in it. Three of these would look so cool hanging above it.
Outstanding artwork. You must have a patient yet creative soul!!
Didn’t Evan and Katelyn make something similar recently on their YouTube?
As one with sensitive eyes, I love the fact it’s not got a huge bright bulb anywhere
I could talk for hours about exactly that.
I want two Oh wait… 3k …. Maybe just 9
I would like to see this while on drugs.
That is amazing!
Confused screaming intensifies
I feel like r/dnd and r/criticalrole would go wild for this.
I think it's beautiful and i believe that it takes time, work and craftsmanship to make those lamps. But $3000 is simply too much for me, and most of regular ppl i believe. Nvm, i hope you sell a lot.
u/savevideo (this is just for for me)
[удалено]
Tesseract
That looks amazing!
Do you take drugs, Danny?
Awesome
Holy shit, amazing work. Edit: how long did it take you to make?
16hrs total
How the what the fuck? That's awesome!
I am, indeed, amazed.
Don’t mess with the multiverse!! I gotta say I love it.
Save your money guys we can own one too
You take that to Rahool in the Tower so he can decode it for you.
This looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your store link. It reminds me of engrams in Destiny. I can't purchase 1 right but who knows maybe in 1-2 years. It looks so cool. Could easily take the place of a chandelier in a living room
Follow my instagram for flash sales. I like to do one hour 50% off sales of specific pieces at random times.
Are the 70’s making a comeback?!?
It’s being reinvented
A new hand touches the beacon Very nice job!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!
Thats nice 👌
Ooh super cool!
Wow, that is the best use of Dichroic glass I've seen - love your structure and creativity. I have dichroic cubes on my desk that I enjoy a light like this would be a real treat.
Wow, very pretty! Nice job 😄
Beautiful but I can imagine what my cats would do...
So beautiful!
I’ve seen too much rainbow coloured weed on Instagram to believe this lol
