Sandra Decker's transparent sunlight wall has inbuilt LED lights which gradually change through the colours of the spectrum that make up daylight.
Sandra, of Fallowfield, was left blind in one eye and with only 20 per cent of her vision in the other after a car crashed into the back of her in 1997.
As a result, the 40-year-old had to radically alter her artistic style - going from detailed line drawings and steel sculptures to working with light.
She set up the firm Leolight, in June to create light installations for indoor environments.
Sandra, who has since had an op to improve her sight, said: "Going partially blind inspired me to invent the sunlight wall.
"After the accident, it became impossible to see pencil on paper. It was like looking through swirling fog - it was a desperate and bleak time. The accident made me choose the medium of light because I don't have to see it to experience it."
Sandra now plans to promote the use of her wall in hospitals, schools and offices.
She said: "The wall will reproduce the physiological effects of being in sunlight. When you sit in front of it you are moved into a meditative state.
"It will help people in hospital heal because indoors they don't get enough light for cell restoration - artificial light doesn't give you the energy to function properly. It will also promote learning in schools.
"Each colour has different effects - blue makes the body more alert and red increases temperature."
