This is really great. I always saw those harmonic shapes as electron orbitals, I had no idea they could be used in lighting too - so cool.

It made me wonder - why do the electron orbitals take those shapes in say a hydrogen atom? Is there a constraint on the electron and proton together that make it fit only to spherical harmonic functions?
