The Opportunity:

How we choose to get work done is moving more and more away from a traditional 9-5. Young people in the workforce (ages 25-35) often work after dark and need to do so in a productive environment and should be able to move from place to place safely and easily when work is finished.




The Solution:

A portable, modular light that serves the purpose of a desk lamp and a safety device, creating a more convenient and efficient tool.





The warm glow mimics natural light, increasing productivity for the user.
The light converts to a cooler, more direct light, similar to a flashlight, to function as a safety tool.




The user can easily attach the light to a bag with by looping the handle around the strap.




The cap screws onto the top of the base in desk lamp mode.
The cap screws onto the bottom of the base to convert the light to safety mode.
