Magic lamp bravery IF design award can still shine under the power of dozens of hours

Monday, creative innovation, many people immediately think of "tall", but the Guangdong city in Jiangmen Province, a group of Wuyi University students, but by virtue of design will combine the common spherical bulb flashlight and perfect, developed a can in the power-off condition, can illuminate the earth without electricity source also can serve as a flashlight FeelTravel multi function bulb, and obtained the iF product design award in Germany Munich. This is the third time the designer Chen Yonghang and his team won the iF product design award, mining the user's needs are not met, and through industrial design to the ground, is an important reason for their success. "

Industrial Design Lab at Wuyi University in Jiangmen, the reporter saw, this special spherical bulb, which is the same as an ordinary light bulb, has a round head; it like the bulb, with a slightly slender waist, and a flashlight like light, also have a a thin handle. It's so common that it's hard to believe that this is the product of the design award.

Because the light source product features have been very perfect, to enhance the function, appearance, installation and other aspects, and bring quality of life, very difficult". Chen Yonghang, a professor at the school of art and design, Wuyi University, said. "We take into account the frequent power outages in some places, how to solve the problem of lighting after the blackout becomes our starting point. "

5 hours to 11 hours after power failure

Full participation in the development of Jiangmen Addie Chan industrial design limited company chief designer Ma Xin said that the team would like to design a product, make some rural mainland or in the development of area residents, in the face of power even when the street lights off, can be directly used lamps off; can also make some love outdoor sports there are a lot of high-end customers, the choice of products in the smart.

In the design of the multifunctional FeelTravel bulb is the first ordinary light bulb, divergent light, can be used directly on the wall lamps and so on; secondly, lamps installed inside the circuit board and the lithium battery, can continue to shine in the power of the state, or by remote control or control buttons on the lamp body so, the flashlight like a far light and near light or flash bulb; again, there were added handle design and handle, convenient for customers to directly take walks around in the hand, can also use the rope tied to the body, liberate your hands.
