Project Duration: The project started in May 2021 in Chiba/Tokyo, Japan and finished / started distribution in January 2024 in Japan.
Operation Flow: When using the light: 1. Adjust the lighting part to preferred angle. 2. Touch the power/brightness switch and light color switch to select the brightness/color of the LED light. Adjustment is possible by pressing multiple times. 3.When turning the power off, press the power/brightness switch.
