It is difficult to find a smooth and beautiful curve and beautiful proportion. It is also one of the difficulties to show three different forms, especially the gap bite tightness during wing spreading.
2）Form display problem.
There are three different forms of“Magpie Lamp". How to make the three forms change smoothly without affecting the lighting is a big problem.
3）Integrated circuit problem, circuit series problem.
There are three forms of " Magpie Lamp". Under different forms, the circuit direction is also different, but there is only one switch. How to make the perfect splicing of internal circuits has become the biggest challenge of the project.
