Light plays very important role in our life. When sun rises it gives light to the whole world, but as it sets darkness begins. Humans discovered electricity to produce light. We use light not only at night but also during day time. Designers differentiated light for various purposes and designed light accordingly. Thus, decorative lighting came into picture. But, as use of electricity increased, we are facing shortage of electricity and that lead us to a condition of power saving.
There are various types of decorative lights available in the market but they consume large power. New techniques and colourful lights are still emerging in the market. So there is a scope for design in designing some products for low power consumption still giving desired results.
LED:
Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) are rapidly replacing Incandescent lighting for many applications. LED consumes low power. Most traffic lights have been replaced with LED's and many of today's new cars are equipped with LED tail lights.
Solid State Lighting (SSL) uses semi‐conducting materials to convert electricity into light. SSL is an umbrella term encompassing different types of technologies including light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) and organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs). While both technologies are evolving rapidly, LEDs are the more mature technology, particularly for white‐light general illumination applications.
Design Objective:
To design innovative Indoor lighting products for better ambience and power saving and to provide better lighting, considering the requirement as per need.
This project 'Innovative Indoor Lighting Products' aims at designing an innovative decorative light system (Track/ Rail Lighting) with good ambience, for particular task which will have low power consumption. Various factors such as power saving, ambience, specific lighting and emerging market of LED's are combined together. Different aspects such as light, colour, colour and emotions are studied and tried to incorporate in the final product. Also, new concept of mood light lighting is incorporated in the final product.
The final product i.e. the Track Light for the living room can be fixed on the track on wall or ceiling, for flexible movement and proper positioning suitable goose pipe is used. Use of RGB controlled LED's gives us the choice of selecting our colour tone and thus single light provides multiple colours. Led in acrylic gives good ambience and also we can control the intensity of light.
