Cabinet Lamp with Dual Light Surfaces and Modular Socket
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cabinet lamps illuminate only one side, resulting in significant blind areas and limited user convenience due to the absence of dual illumination and shared socket usage.
Innovation Solution
A cabinet lamp with dual light emitting surfaces, including an L-shaped primary surface and an obliquely arranged secondary surface, along with a processor and control switch, and a combination luminaire featuring a detachable sub-lamp assembly and socket component with multi-connector ports for enhanced illumination and convenience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If a cabinet lamp illuminates only one side, then the structure is simple, but the blind area is large and illumination coverage is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The cabinet lamp is divided into two independent light emitting surfaces: a primary light emitting surface and a secondary light emitting surface. Each surface can be independently controlled and positioned to illuminate different areas, thereby reducing blind spots while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The secondary light emitting surface is arranged in an oblique direction, adding a spatial dimension to the illumination pattern. This oblique arrangement allows light to reach areas that would otherwise be in shadow, expanding coverage without requiring a completely complex reconfiguration of the lamp structure.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the cabinet has only one socket, then the structure is simple, but other electronic products cannot be used simultaneously, reducing user convenience
Solution Approach 1:
The socket component is designed with multiple connection ports that can accommodate different types of electronic products. The same socket structure serves both as a power source for the cabinet lamp and as a universal interface for charging or powering other electronic devices, thereby increasing versatility without requiring separate structures for each function.
Solution Approach 2:
The socket component is integrated with the cabinet lamp assembly, combining the lighting function and the power supply function into a single unified structure. This merging allows the socket to serve dual purposes: powering the lamp and providing power to other electronic products, reducing the need for separate components.
3Area of stationary object
If the primary light emitting surface area on the bottom is larger, then the illumination coverage is improved, but the lamp body size increases
Solution Approach 1:
The primary light emitting surface is configured with different areas for different functions: a larger area on the bottom surface for illuminating the cabinet interior, and a smaller area on the side for auxiliary illumination. This local differentiation optimizes illumination coverage in the most需要的 areas while minimizing the overall lamp body volume.

AI summary
The lamp includes a body defining at least front, bottom, rear and end surfaces; a primary light source configured to project light through at least a portion of the front and bottom surface; a secondary light source configured to project light through at least a portion of the rear surface; a processor electrically connected to the primary and secondary light sources; a switch to control the processor; and ports provided on the end surfaces. A sub-lamp assembly and a socket component, each including port configured to connect to the ports on the lamp, might be combined with the lamp to form a luminaire.
