INDN 212 Redesign research

Redesigning Lighting:

For this task we are required to look in to different different types of lighting and see how they are designed, the environment they are used in and what the the parts that are unique or make them stand out from on another. with this we then have to redesign a type of lighting product. 

There are many different types of lighting products out there and these are a few that I have found: 

Laser light:

It emit light coherently, unlike most lights that are used to fill up a space a laser only moves in a strait line. Used to direct light onto a specific point and to create focus on the point that the user is pointing it at.

Torch:

Is are portable way of creating light in a space with most being battery powered 

Bulb: 

is the main use of lighting, is used in most lighting devices and come it a wide variety of watts and sizes, used to fill up are space most commonly an closed environment. 

Fairy lights/ christmas lights:

is a line of small lights connected with a parallel circuit used primarily for decretive prepossess and uses the concept of repetition.

  

when looking into lights, I looked into how people tried to make them unique or stand out from the other surroundings. some people looked into the use of repetition:

   these three different types of lighting all use repetition to produce its lights, they all have simple ways that light is produced and portrayed but with the use of repetition it makes them stand out and contrast to its surroundings and environments.

I also looked at how shadow and selected ways that light could be released from the source;

All of these lighting products use light to create unique lighting pattens, it used light to contrast with where light isn't being distributed to make a unique environment.

Another concept I looked at was lights that were different within themselves and how they captured a standpoint on how it looks its self;

  They used the concepts of shape and colour to make them stand out and make a difference. The first one plays on the idea on the science of different coloured lights and when you mix red blue and green light together you get while light. the second one looks at different colours pallets, patterns and shapes so that hat light is a statement on its own. the last looks at the icon bulb shape and plays with it making it look soft and melting, I feel it resembles salvador dali's melting clocks

The last idea looked at with unique lighting was different ways that other people had redesigned lighting with reused objects;

I really like this concept of reusing old objects to redesigning an object to make it new and unique, it gives it a scene of personality,  enjoyment and tells a story within its self. the first one is made out of old speakers from old record players, second is a colonder, three is tea cups and saucers and the last one its old light fittings and copper wire.
