When we encounter an area of our house that is always "too dark," often our first inclination is to add another lamp or light fixture. Using common materials and items found around your home, demonstrate an alternative strategy for bringing light to a darkened area of your home without adding or subtracting the number of lamps or light fixtures. Alternatively, present an innovative method for dimming ambient light.
Example: How can I make the dark corner of my room brighter, without adding more electric lights?
A classy solution is basically to use waveguides which have total internal reflection for visible light. They should be placed near the light-source at an appropriate angle and extend to the dark area you are looking to light.
The light that falls upon the waveguide from your source will travel through all the way to its end and be emitted there, lighting up even the darkest parts of your room! That’s SCIENCE!
