Lighting &
Illumination
Li is a versatile light that can illuminate wherever needed, its modularity, cylindrical shape, and magnetic endpoints allow for a range of applications.
Desk Lamp
Designing an Illumination device that adapts itself to the user and not the other way round
Foot
Takes up too much space
Position
Of light may cause glare
Switch
Position creates unnecessary effort
Size
Makes storage difficult

'Pen' Light
Path Chosen
Protyping
The first prototype was a glass cylinder with LEDs on both ends. However the biggest problem was their dim brightness.
After taking apart a tactical light, this small circuit was responsible for increasing the current supplied to the LED. So I ended up using them inside of the glass cylinders.
