Unique Properties: This design integrates a four led optical system delivering powerful, uniform illumination up to 1500 lumens, housed in a compact and highly durable abs structure. It is 130 degree adjustable head, compatible with an 18V power tools platform, and combined lighting and warning mode distinguish it from conventional work lights. The ergonomic soft grip handle and portable form factor enhance usability in demanding environments.
Dimensions & Packaging: Voltage: 18V power tools compatible platform
LED Output: 22.5W
Brightness: 2000 lm / 1400 lm / 800 lm
Beam Distance: up to 550 yards
Adjustment: 130 degrees swivel
Dimensions: Approx. W 95 mm x D 85 mm x H 165 mm
Features: Metal hanger, soft grip handle, integrated warning mode, ABS reinforced body, portable battery system.
Tags: Adjustable modes, Long range, Emergency strobe
Production Technology: The design utilises precision‑engineered abs and pc for structural durability, reinforced for impact and abrasion resistance. A multi‑lens optical module is integrated to optimise led distribution and thermal performance. The housing follows power tools professional design language through controlled surface transitions, ergonomic contouring, and over‑moulded softgrip zones. Cad development and iterative prototyping ensured mechanical accuracy and production feasibility.
Design Challenge: The key challenge was balancing high light output, compact size, and power tool battery compatibility within strict ergonomic and durability requirements. Achieving uniform optical performance while maintaining a rugged abs structure required multiple design iterations. External constraints such as tool platform geometry, impact-resistance standards, and manufacturing limitations demanded precise engineering to deliver a compact yet powerful, professional-grade lamp.
Research: This applied design research focused on improving portable task lighting with objectives centred on durability, illumination quality, and ergonomic use. Methods included user observation, competitive analysis, and iterative cad modelling. Data was collected through field testing with professional tradespeople. Results indicated demand for longer range illumination, simpler operation, and a rugged housing. These insights guided the development of a compact, high output lamp that enhances productivity and supports real world job site needs.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the robust and unmistakable identity of professional tools defined by clarity, precision and functional strength. Drawing from the brand's blue tint visual language, the concept combines industrial reliability with modern portability. The goal was to create a cordless lamp that embodies professional confidence while addressing real world job site lighting challenges.
Project Duration: 2026, Hong Kong
Operation Flow: This design is activated through a single multifunction switch for quick mode selection, allowing seamless transition between three brightness levels and a warning flash mode. The 130 degrees swivel head enables precise beam positioning without moving the base. Its ergonomic soft grip handle enhances control, while power tool battery compatibility allows effortless power exchange, improving workflow efficiency across varied job site scenarios.
