CONCEPTUAL STAGE


Working on head peice shapes and forms. i want to make it quite natural, and flow nicely.
so i went with the bottom right hand corner picture. where i will develop it from there.
i will make it either from solidworks and 3d print in white, or lathe it with wood.


Here i was toying with how i will place my light in my lamp, as i want to make my light my switch as well. so i was taking the concepet of the mac charger of how it connects together. im not sure about this concept.


this will be my chosen concept towards placing the light peice/switch into the head peice. i will screw wit in. inspiration from putting my milk lid back on to the carton. this way i will still be able to hold my form, and make it easy to make.
This will definetly be done with solidworks and 3d printed on the uprinter. so i can get good groves so that it actually srews in.

this is also ideal as i will easly be able to inter-change batteries. 


Here i was actually figuring out the electrical configuration. i want to use three LEDs, as my light source, which will be actiavted by pressing this light source. this will be done by having 3aaa bateries as the supply, and haveing the three leds in series, with a small button in the centre as the switch for on and off, hich will connect the circuit.

i will overlay a piece over the leds, so that leds are showing, and when this presses downwardsit will click the button and activate the light.

i will place small springs in the opposite formation of the LEDS.

I will get into solidworks and show how this will work (hopefully) haha
