| DESIGN NAME: Modulight PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sunlight Reflector INSPIRATION: Innovation is creativity with a job to do, quote from John Emmerling. Warm, natural light was the inspiration for the project. We take for granted the comfort that natural light brings us in our living space. The age-old issue of a dark basement triggered a creative discussion. During the renovations of a house, we looked for solutions to bring more natural light through the basement windows. Unfortunately, most of the basements do not have access to enough sunlight due to the use of window wells, improper placement or angle of the windows. This project is meant to bring natural light into dark basements living space. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The simple building block design enables the user to create a customized reflector based on the size of the window, depth of the window well and its orientation. A configurable set of pieces helps the user define length, width, height and even corner chamfer of the desired reflector. Using an easy push fit assembly, the user simply slides all the pieces together without the need of any tools or adhesive. The intuitive design makes it accessible to everyone, for any window, for any basement OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design intuitive simplicity provides an accessible solution to a technical problem. You can create any size reflector in minutes and installation is merely moving the assembled unit into place. The light weight, chromed, ABS polymer material makes the sturdy reflector a conformable solution for anyone. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Front end of innovation for the project was out of Montreal, Canada, with first concepts discussed in May 2018. Born out of the evolution of several 3D modelized concepts, the first prototype was assembled in February 2019. Modulight reflectors will be available to the general public before the end of 2019 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 3D Imaging software was utilized to create a full reflector first and then break it into 10 types of pieces that can be used to create any size reflector. The prototype pieces were created from 3D printing. The reflector has been designed to be made from standard polymers (ABS) to be durable and easy to manufacture. The reflecting face is achieved by Chrome plating SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Part #01: 3.1"x4.6"x TAGS: Light, reflector, reflection, window, basement, window well RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research revealed no modular product for light reflection for basement windows. A few do-it-yourself web sites suggest the use of a traditional mirror or some form of flexible mirror. In both cases, the result can only be obtained if the light is directed at the mirror in a very specific angle. Since the goal was to reflect light coming from any angle and to have a scale to fit approach, both the structure and the reflective surface had to be design and brought together for a unique solution CHALLENGE: Our design requirements were for the reflectors to be both modular for scalability and reflect light from any angle. Using a minimum amount of part types to create any size reflector was complex considering all the angles in play including corner chamfers. As for the light reflection, we needed to achieve optimal reflection from any angle with no moving parts. Although reflective material exist, they are only optimal when hit in a specific angle ADDED DATE: 2019-03-03 22:57:59 TEAM MEMBERS (2) : 1) MirKazem KhalifehZadeh and 2) Nelson Julien IMAGE CREDITS: All art work, 3D modelling and logo; - MirKazem KhalifehZadeh PATENTS/COPYRIGHTS: Currently being filed |
