Lamp Production

Multi-function desk light works as a room lamp and task light. Wood and aluminum construction uses sustainable materials to give the product a modern aesthetic.

Project Brief

Design a task lamp for a small startup manufacturing company.
○ Develop the lamp, branding and packaging.
○ Design and fabricate a lamp for low-volume production.
○ The design should readily scale up to 500-2,000 units per year.

Problem Statement

Many people struggle with limited desk space in apartments. Design a light using minimal materials that functions both as a lamp and a task light. Focus on manufacturability and a small footprint.

Prototype 1

  • Slider proof of concept

  • exposed light

  • wire management needed

  • Unstable from side

Prototype 2

Prototype 3 (mini)

  • Proof of concept double slider

  • Upward lamp mode

  • Raises into a task light

  • Small footprint

  • Balance issue

CAD Testing

  • Modeled in SolidWorks

  • Mass properties applied

  • Adjusted track to keep weight balanced

  • Confirmed using center of mass tools
