Modular Scene Light Frame for Stacking and Battery Countdown
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing portable scene lights lack the ability to be stacked for storage or to create a vertical 'light tower' and often do not have a countdown display for remaining battery life, making them less versatile and informative for users.
Innovation Solution
A portable lighting device with a modular design featuring a frame and light head that can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing for stacking and modular replacement, and incorporating a countdown display for battery life, along with a frame structure that enables vertical positioning and secure mounting options.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If known portable scene lights are used, then the device provides portable lighting with variable intensity, but the device cannot be stacked for storage or to create a vertical light tower
Solution Approach 1:
The lighting device is divided into modular components: a removable light head and a frame body, allowing individual parts to be stacked and reconfigured. The frame includes separate bar portions and planar portions that can be arranged in vertical configurations for stacking multiple units.
Solution Approach 2:
The frame structure incorporates vertical stacking capability by adding height and structural features that enable units to be stacked in the vertical dimension, transforming a single-unit horizontal device into a multi-unit vertical light tower configuration.
2Loss of information
If known portable scene lights are used, then the device provides basic lighting functionality, but lacks a countdown display that communicates remaining battery life
Solution Approach 1:
A countdown display provides real-time feedback to the user about remaining battery life, allowing users to monitor and plan their lighting usage. The display shows the number of minutes remaining in the battery, enabling informed decisions about operation duration.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the light head is fixed in position, then the structure is simple, but the light cannot be selectively aimed in multiple directions
Solution Approach 1:
The light head is made dynamically adjustable through a rotational mounting mechanism that allows 360-degree rotation and positioning at various angles. The light head can be rotated about a vertical axis and tilted to achieve desired beam directions, transforming a static light into a dynamically adjustable lighting tool.
