Worklight

February 21, 2010 - Posted in product design.

This energy saving worklight was designed for Uni Elektra GmbH. The goal of this project was to increase light efficiency and to improve the manufacturability of their previous model. I developed a completely new light reflector that increased light output by 30%.


This new design has reduced manufacturing complexity and improved assembly as well as design features:

  • no tooling undercuts
  • less parts and screws
  • simpler tube construction
  • smaller form factor
  • integrated cord storage in handle part

Furthermore, thanks to photorealistic visualizations, marketing activities could be started long before there was a physical model available, saving Uni Elektra both time and money.

The old design, showing the inefficient light reflector design, open tube ends and impractical cord storage at the bottom:
