DESIGN NAME:
Anti-virus Lamp
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Madular lighting
INSPIRATION:
The reward system of the brain and its correlation with quarantine days was the inspiring bit for the design of this lighting. In the condition of the quarantine, based on the limitation, the brain receives quite less reward of the environment and the level of the dopamine would decrease drastically,concluding the individual to feel depressed.We designed our lighting with a function similar to the Lego.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Antiviral Lamp, is a modular lighting equipped with UVC light.This light breaks down the cellular structure of the Covid-19.One of the exclusive specifications of this lighting is its electrical circuit, in which it enables the user to create indefinite forms arbitrarily.We opted this design for self-quarantine days, because not also it could entertain all family members,but also by creating a proper form it could be positioned on high-touch surfaces and deteriorate the viruses.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
After charging the lighting, each part of it could be illuminated solely, so it could be used as a complete cube, which is collection of warm and cool lights, and too, as a discrete structure which
could be made by user according to his/her needs. If we design the parts so that they could be
positioned on high touch surfaces of our home, for instance door knobs, by illuminating the UVC light, we are able to cleanse the viruses on the surfaces.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The ideation phase has started by March 25th and ended on May 15th

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
The joint part of this design is made of ABS which is quite resistant against shock.The transparent part of the lighting is made of polycarbonate.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
150 x 150 mm,This project has a power source which can be charged by an adaptor. Then to charge each part,by connecting them one by one or by imposing some constraints in a row, it can be attached to the source so it will be charged; and it is also possible to use each part separately

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Any external incident or creating a new instrument, is accompanied by an experience in our brain. Lego parts are toys in which all people, even a wide range of children with developmental disorders, like autistic children, could be entertained by them; and create new forms and shapes.People, by creating a new form, will experience an external incident which one could say an act has been done, and also, the users have enjoyed it. Now if this act is accompanied with a
functional product like a lighting, the brain would gain more reward. This would aid our mental health by secreting dopamine in the brain, during limited days of the quarantine.
CHALLENGE:
One of our challenges was to make a type of electric circuit in which we could link the parts without any constraints and enjoy its form and illumination. With regard to the group of our users, who are all family members and even some children with developmental disorders, for the answer, we proposed the controlling electric circuit; so if any array of blocks is created out of the defined pattern, the current would not be established.
