- Rural areas in China lack complete lighting facilities, especially outdoors at night and toilets at night. This makes the lives of rural students inconvenient. We have designed this multi-functional lighting fixture that is friendly to rural students in response to this situation. This lamp can be used as a desk lamp, flashlight, or ambient light.
- Challenge
- The biggest challenge we faced during the development of the project was how to achieve multifunctional integration and user-friendliness while remaining cost-effective. By working with the local community, we gained an in-depth understanding of the actual needs of our users and conducted several prototype tests to optimize the design.

Production process: The shell adopts metal casting technology, which is a cost-effective and efficient method, suitable for large-scale production. Surface Treatment: In order to improve the durability and aesthetics of the product, the surface of the shell is sandblasted.
- Operation and Interaction
- Lighting mode switching method: Pull up the lamp body and rotate it to the appropriate angle. After releasing it, the lamp body will automatically rebound downwards and lock the angle. Light adjustment method: Quickly press the button to switch the light color, and hold down the button for a long time to adjust the light brightness.
