Desk Study Lamp

The object seen in the picture is a study lamp. It functions by electricity and by using the on/off switch knob on the top of the cover around the lamp. It is intended to be placed on a table, where the students want to do homework, study, or do projects, whether it’s at their home, an educational environment (schools), libraries, and other places like this. It was created in order to provide extra light (besides the light from the roof light) for students to take advantage of, while they are doing homework. Moreover, not all roof lamps are near the area where the student has his/her desk to do work on, so, this desk study lamp could be used to lighten the area where the student is working and providing him/her with more light rather than the light just from the roof lamps. The material used for the neck of the product, the piece that connects the top part—the cover around the lamp—and the bottom part, where the neck should rest is a metal piece since it is durable and able to hold the weight of the cover around the lamp on it. The metal neck is also flexible, which is a very creative designing idea for a study lamp since the students could bend the neck and as a result, to fix the direction of the lamp in the position they need (closer to them, or farther away which is based on their needs at the moment). The switch knob, by which the lamp is turned on and off, is also made by the same metal used for the neck. The material for the cover around the lamp is consisted of two layered hard durable plastics. The inner plastic is opaque and the second outer layer is a transparent type of plastic. As for the material for the bottom part of the desk study lamp, where there is a little storage, a hard, durable, and transparent type of plastic is used again.

The color choices are very effective and work very well. A transparent colorless plastic in some areas, along with the silver color for the metals and the opaque white for the other plastic for the cover of the lamp are chosen since the chosen colors and even the colorless transparent areas fit and go well with all other colors. So, this lamp could fit with every type of environment with different colors. This little storage in the bottom is one of the good parts of the design for this study lamp since it provides the users with extra space to place materials such as small notepads, flash drives, pens/pencils and other small material like the ones already mentioned. The good part about this storage is that it is designed in a way that it is not attached to its bottom area which makes it easy to rotate and the user would just have to rotate it to get to the needed area and pick the needed material. The shape of the cover around the lamp is very effective. It is similar to an oval like shape with the only difference that this could be a semi oval shape, and it is also only in 3D format. It is very effective since it has a fairly sized open area where it allows the light from the light bulb to spread and reach directly and effectively to the intended area, without having any barriers blocking the light from reaching to needed place. However, there is still one improvement that could be done to make this lamp even more effective. As mentioned earlier, this lamp is powered by electricity. However, if the designer of the lamp had designed it in a way that could be powered by using batteries (by designing a small battery area in the bottom of the storage zone), it would make the study lamp to be ported easily around and also use it in areas where there is no power outlet.
