This engineering task is to make a LED light that can be used to illuminate and switch on and off immediately. I and my groupmates felt very interested in making electrical lights, so we search for some examples on both light design websites and Youtube to find some inspiration. In the video below, this is an electric table Lamp that I really like. It is really innovative and creative among all types of lamps that I’ve ever seen. You have multiple uses for this kind of table lamp. Because the light is not strong, it can protect your eyes while you are working, and also, shimmer light can use as a night light while you are asleep. The base of the light is not big so it does not take up space, at the same time, the modeling is very unique.

My target audience can be students, adults, and elders. Because from both real life and the website, I’ve seen a lot of people(particularly the kids and elders)  are bothered about can’t find a suitable night light for themselves because of afraid of the dark, so their sleep quality is not good at all. As doing some questionnaires, they generally prefer to get an electric light which the light is not that big and shiny, and also didn’t take up that much space. From these perspectives, I and my groupmate find some examples online which can best fit their requirements.

The pros of my idea are that the shimmer lights can keep those people who are afraid of the dark a much better sleep. But for the cons,  because it is an electric light if the lights keep working for the whole night, maybe it will consume a lot of electricity, which the customer’s electricity bill will increase a lot, also there wastes a lot of electricity.
