Adaptive Desk Light by Daniel Pursall from uk

My project is a desk light made from ABS plastic and features the OLED Click module system. The desk light aims to enhance the experience of tasks such as Sketching at a desk by providing adaptable lighting and maximising desk space with a minimal design reflecting the properties of OLED’s. The desk light consists of the OLED Click module system, two upright pieces with a clamp and hinge, a horizontal arm, a rod and locking lever for the clamp. The upright is made from ABS and is injection moulded in two halves split down the length of each part. They are then ultrasonically welded together once the circuitry has been installed. This circuitry consists of a circuit board, wires and a capacitive touch panel for the controls on the upright piece. The clamp components are cast from aluminium with a rubber foot on the rod to protect the underside of tables. The rod has a circular profile with a flattened side matching the hole in the lever, which provides friction to hold the rod in place when it is turned so that the flat edge of the hole in the lever makes contact with the rounded face of the rod. The controls can turn the power and shadow elimination on and off and can be used to change the colour and intensity. The light has sensors that track hand movements to change the light intensity in each of the modules to eliminate hand shadows when performing tasks such as sketching.
