Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional lighting devices provide static illumination for everyday use, then illumination suitability is maintained, but dynamic and entertaining lighting capability is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the lighting device into multiple independent light sources (first light source and second light source) that can be controlled separately. Each light source can operate independently to provide different lighting modes (everyday illumination or entertainment lighting), enabling the device to switch between static and dynamic lighting without requiring a completely different system for each mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The lighting device is designed to perform multiple functions using a single integrated system. The first light source provides everyday illumination while the second light source provides entertainment lighting, allowing the same device to serve both practical lighting needs and entertainment purposes without requiring separate lighting systems.
2Adaptability or versatility
If conventional lighting devices provide colored light for entertainment value, then dynamic and entertaining lighting is achieved, but color rendering index and illumination suitability deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system separates the lighting functions into distinct light sources with different spectral characteristics. The first light source is designed to provide high CRI illumination for everyday use, while the second light source provides colored light for entertainment. This segmentation allows each light source to optimize its performance for its specific function without compromising the other.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parts of the lighting system (different light sources) are designed with different spectral qualities tailored to their specific functions. The first light source has spectral characteristics optimized for color rendering and illumination, while the second light source has spectral characteristics optimized for producing colored entertainment lighting effects.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional lighting devices use single wavelength light sources, then device simplicity is maintained, but ability to produce non-homogeneous light with selected characteristics is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses multiple light sources with different dominant wavelengths instead of a single light source. This allows the system to produce non-homogeneous light with varied spectral characteristics, enabling different lighting scenarios and effects while maintaining independent control over each light source's output.
