Mongolo wa Buka: Luxblade ke lebone la bohlale le hlophisitsoeng bakeng sa tshebediso ya lapeng. Karolo ya mantlha ya lebone, e bitswang blade, ke lebone la sebopeho sa silinta se se nang le mokgwa wa setso wa ho kwala ka twist, se tshwereng dichip tsa taolo, betri le diphaneng tsa LED. Blade e a ntshoa mme e ka tshoaroa ka letsoho, kahoo lesedi le fetoha ntho e ka amoang. Mefuta ya fatshe le ya desktop e fana ka mehlodi e meraro ya lesedi e nngwe le e nngwe: mabone a mantlha, li-dome tsa motheo le dielwana tsa lesedi. Litjhopo tsa touch tse ho blade di lokisa tsela ya lesedi ka metsamao e potolohang le ho lokisa boholo ba lesedi ka ho hulanya ka tsela e tsamayang holimo le tlase. Motheo o nang le mmagenete o tlatsa betri ya blade hape.

Boleng bo Ikhethang: The Luxblade lighting project introduces a cylindrical lightbulb without a traditional screw in mechanism, featuring advanced internal components like control chips, a battery, and LED panels. Inspired by making light tangible, users can grab and interact with the light. Both floor and desktop lamps have three light sources: main lights, foundation domes, and light rings. Touchpads on the blade let users adjust light direction with circular motions and control brightness with vertical swipes.
Boholo le Phuthelo: Main light unit, the blade: Length 350 mm x Diameter 44 mm
The foundation light dome: Diameter 258mm
Floor lamp height: 1500mm
Desktop lamp height: 1000mm
Lithegi: Tangible light, interactive lighting, smart home integration, touch sensitive controls, detachable light source, home decor, personalized lighting, LED technology, HomeKit, scifi inspired design
Theknoloji ya Tlhahiso: We managed the design and prototyping process in house using CAD and 3D printing. The main light source, "The Blade," is housed in a durable white acrylic shell, while the base and foundation domes are made from anodized aluminum to ensure stability and add the necessary weight. The advanced LED technology is integrated within this structure, and we developed touch-sensitive controls using capacitive touch sensors. The magnetic charging base was also engineered for seamless docking, and the software was built to integrate with Apple HomeKit for smart home compatibility.
Phephetso ya Moralo: The hardest part of designing Luxblade was balancing its sci-fi-inspired aesthetic with practical functionality. Internally, we faced challenges in making light feel tangible while ensuring the product remained user-friendly and not overly futuristic. Externally, we had to address production limitations, such as integrating touch controls and battery technology in a sleek form. Additionally, ensuring compatibility with smart systems like Apple HomeKit while adhering to safety and tech regulations added complexity. Through iterative design and testing, we achieved a functional yet emotionally engaging product.
Dipatlisiso: Our research for Luxblade blended functionality with a sense of wonder, inspired by tangible light in science fiction. We designed a light users could physically grab and carry. User feedback helped refine aesthetics, usability, and emotional interaction, resulting in a romantic, hands-on experience seamlessly integrated with smart systems like Apple HomeKit, merging science fiction-inspired design with practical, smart technology for everyday use.
Kgothaletso: The inspiration of this project is the concept of “grabbing” light, transforming it from an intangible element into a physical, interactive experience. The luxblade allows users to hold and carry light, making it feel more personal and portable. By eliminating the traditional screw in mechanism, the design enhances this experience, creating a versatile object that redefines how we interact with light, shifting it from a purely visual element to a tangible, user controlled source.
Nako ya Projeke: 2023.11-present. Savannah,Ga, USA and Beijing,China
Tsamaiso ya Mosebetsi: Luxblade has touch controls for adjusting light direction with circular motions and brightness with vertical swipes. The Blade, the main light source, is detachable for portability, and a guiding light on the magnetic dock activates upon removal. The base light also turns on when The Blade is removed, providing continuous lighting that can be controlled via Apple HomeKit or manually for a customizable and seamless experience.
