T-LIGHT

Product Description:The designer was inspired by the Chinese word "shi guang" ("shi" means time and "guang" means light) and added the minute hand to the lamp. The minute hand works as the switch and also the timing controller for the light. Users can turn on the lamp and set its duration. As time passes, the minute hand will return to its original position and the light from T-LIGHT will gradually fade away like the change of sunlight over time. Moreover, it makes users think about time since they need to determine how long they will take for each activity each time.

As time passes, the minute hand will return to its original position and the light from T-LIGHT will gradually fade away like the change of sunlight over time. Moreover, it makes users think about time since they need to determine how long they will take for each activity each time.

Value proposition:

1 T-LIGHT makes users think about time since they need to determine how long they will take for each activity each time. For example, if the user enters the bedroom and intends to read a book or play with the phone for half an hour before going to bed, the users can rotate the minute hand a half circle at this time. The lights will fade out after half an hour.

2 There has always been an inseparable relationship between time and light, for which the Chinese created the word "shi guang". This design shows the reflection on the relationship between time and light. T-LIGHT not only meets the needs of users functionally, but also enables users to think and feel.

Feasibility or effectiveness:

T-LIGHT can be roughly divided into digital display module, LED module, timing and control module. The digital display module is also the number of hours in the middle of T-LIGHT, which can be displayed by digital tube. The gradient of LED light is controlled by time and can be combined with the control module to achieve; The shell of the lamp uses injection molding technology. This design has the feasibility and the possibility that the mass production will be put on the market.
