How the power behind a light is measured-
Lights are measured in watts (symbol W) and volts (symbol V). The dictionary meaning of ‘watts’ is: “the SI unit of power, equivalent to one joule per second, corresponding to the rate of consumption of energy in an electric circuit where the potential difference is one volt and the current one ampere.” Watts were invented and named after James Watt, in the late 1800s.

To get the amount of Watts used, one would multiply the volt times amperage in the circuit. For example a circuit with a 24 volt circuit with 4 amperage would consume 96 Watts.

USE:
You need to think about how the light will be powered eg. via a solar panel, wall socket, or will it be powered through wiring that goes in the roof. What best suits your light and its design?

Think about what's happening on the inside.
how will it be connected to a power source, how will it be connected to the bulbs, how will it hang from the ceiling.
Will it be attached to the ceiling or attached to a wire and the wire then attached to the ceiling?

# data[].attributes.body
you could think about what material you will use, whether it's wood or plastic, glass or could be wood with bark on it.

# data[].attributes.body
You could think more about your light bulb, and whether it is a fire hazard if you are using a material that can easily set on fire

# data[].attributes.body
Are your shapes easy to translate and build on the material you want to build them out of? Can you flat pack them and get them laser cut? Will you be able to easily orthographically draw them for the orthographic internal?

How bright is it?
How many watts does it need?
Will it suit the material and not make it melt?

# data[].attributes.body
You could make it more user friendly by making it adjustable

Is your light safe for the environment that you are putting it in, eg. will your light be used near or in water, will this light be used in a children's room is it safe to be in their environment?

What environment is it being designed for? If it’s a kids bedroom make it less harsh and possible more childish. Consider colours etc, and how you want it to feel in the environment. You might want it to stand out and be more of an art piece. However, you might want it to be placed more seamlessly in the environment...

Develop colours to suit your design and site. Think about:
- Environment: whether you want it easily seen or not easy to see.
- Texture of your light and if it suits.
- If you're designing for a person their favourite colour.
- Do you want it to be as bright as the light?
- Maybe you want to use colours from your movement era theme.

You could try to look back at your mood board or initial ideas, and that could inspire you to make changes

Look at different ways to transform a 2D shape to a 3D shape

# data[].attributes.body
Change it so that it would be easier to laser cut - think about joints and how it would fit together

# data[].attributes.body
Like the shadow idea, potentially do something similar to that regarding lighting to explore new designs

# data[].attributes.body
Consider ways you could re create your shape with different joints.

-What will make it more convenient

You could develop it by finding ways to make the light more functional

Ergonomics of the light

# data[].attributes.body
Find common aspects from your design era to manipulate the form/colour

# data[].attributes.body
You develop out your shapes. From 2D to more 3D and extending shapes from simple to a bit more complex.
(I've put some 2D and 3D shapes on here)

# data[].attributes.body
Play and adapt with the shape. Look at the scale, can you make it bigger or smaller? Move it around, add more shapes from your design era. Reflect the shape, multiply the shape?
