About Double Face Lampe

Double Face is in lampe ûntwurpen foar gebrûk by stroomstoringen. De lampe wurket as in gewoane ljochtboarne wannear't der elektrisiteit beskikber is, en deselde tafier laadt in bûslampe op dy't yn it lichem holden wurdt. As de stroom útfalt, wurdt it boppeste part draaid sadat it opladen ljocht de romte bliuwt te ferljochtsjen. It boppeste ljocht kin ek fuorthelle wurde en meinaam wurde as bûslampe. De behuzing is makke fan aluminiumlegearring foar in leech gewicht, sterkte en korrosjewjerstân, en de basis is makke fan plastic. Double Face mjit 18 by 18 by 48 sintimeter.

Unique Properties
This is a lamp that can be used in case of blackout. The unique thing about this design is that it's two-sided. When the electricity is normal, use it like a regular product. Ordinary electricity will charge the flashlight inside the lamp. When blackout, turn the head so that the charge of the upper light can continue to illuminate. In this way, users can also work or study in the dark of blackout. When the user needs to move, they can also remove the upper light and use it as a flashlight. This is a solution to the blackout scenario design.

Production Technology
The shell of the product is made of aluminum alloy, which has low density, light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance. Suitable for the combination of lamps and flashlights. Its base is made of plastic, and the heat conduction is slow enough to keep the user from feeling cold.
Design Challenge
This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research
Electricity has been closely related to human beings in modern life. Children need to read. Adults need to work. But nighttime blackouts are still common across countries, especially in the less developed developing world. Hence flashlights and candles are a daily necessity in every home.
Inspiration
The experience of the blackout inspired me to come up with the project. Power cuts are common in many African countries at night. A black environment can interfere with evening work. I get inspiration from rechargeable flashlights. I want to design a lamp that can be recharged and unplug as a flashlight.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 in Anhui and finished in May 2019 in that place, and was exhibited in Shantou in June 2019.
Operation Flow
When the electricity is normal, use it like a regular lamp. Daily lighting recharges the flashlight inside. When there is a power failure at night, rotating it up and down. This allows the upper lights to continue to illuminate during power outages. In addition, when users need to move in the dark, can remove the lights as a flashlight.
