Concept Statement:
A desk can serve many purposes. How can a lamp help accommodate those functions while fitting into it's surrounding environment?
Inspired by the every changing universe, rEVOLVE is a multi-functional desk lamp that can not only provide you with ambient and task lighting, but will also charge your phone. Equipped with an inductive charger, USB port, dimming touch switch, and free swinging arm for any desired position, rEVOLVE can accommodate for any user or situation. It can provide up to 600 lumens of task light or eclipse itself and become your very own ambient light source to make your entire room shine.
Project Specs:
6.5” diameter x 16.4” tall (when up)
A 24v power supply is split into 12v for the light and 19v for the inductive charger/USB port. The light is controlled through a highly conductive silver plate that is connected to an on/off/dimming driver which is connected to the LED strip. Custom copper washers are located in the arm joints, allowing 360 degree rotation without losing conductivity. The outer body of the lamp is a 3D print.
