Research Analysis
Firefly Solar Lamp Table: This innovative design features an inbuilt solar light to produce an ambient glow Prevents light from toppling over when used outside
MagicGlobe Solar Light Sphere: This design is an example of the trend in modern spherical lighting The light includes an inbuilt solar module They are waterproof and can float in water or be placed on a table
Concept Development
The concept development phase focused on: Firstly noting and sketching ideas into the types of features needed in the outdoor light Secondly sketching different geometrical and organic forms to achieve the right type of lighitng affect In the later stages focusing on spherical shapes as to allow for the 360 degree rotation of the light cover This would also keep the light stable when used in windy conditions For the light source I found OLED technology to be most suitable Solar panels were also introduced in the final stages

Eco-design strategy
The most appropriate environmental design strategies for the BAPP Light had to be chosen For example, the design of the BAPP Light incorporated: 1.1 Design for resource conservation - using the minimum amount of material required for the function for the light - recyclable materials, such as the choice of using thermoplastic elastomer 1.6 Design for minimal consumption - Components have been designed for re-use, remanufacture or recycling - Clear instructions have been provided to consumers on use, re-use, re-manufacture, recycling and disposal
Eco-design strategy
Greenfly Assesment Global Warming: Transport of the raw materials for manufacturing and production, accounted for the largest contribution to global warming. Energy Demand: Transportation of the product consumed the greatest amount of energy, which can be attributed to fuel requirements, distance travelled and the like.
