About Magpie 檯燈

Magpie係一盞外形似雀仔、有摺疊翼膀嘅檯燈。呢盞燈透過圓柱形燈身底部嘅單一觸控按鈕，可以喺三種模式之間切換。喺第一種模式，翼膀維持摺埋，燈光細而柔和，適合放喺床邊使用。喺第二種模式，燈頭升起，燈光變得更加光亮，適合辦公同埋書房使用。喺第三種模式，翼膀完全展開，照亮更廣闊嘅範圍。燈身以金屬製造，配以金色飾面，燈罩則以半透明物料製成。

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.
