enLighten is an hourglass-shaped bedside lamp that tracks your phone use in bed and correspondingly transitions its light color from a pleasant mint green to a throbbing red to make you aware of prolonged phone interaction. The lamp rewards good behavior by transitioning the light in reverse when the screen is turned off for a few minutes. It lets you determine and set goals of time and the apps to track. Through these functions enLighten nudges you to break away from your phone, avoid being over-loaded with online content, be mindful of the passage of time, and prepare you to fall asleep.

As part of a Masters thesis in industrial design, Shreyans designed this uniquely shaped bedside lamp called enLighten. Unlike the form and function of regular lamps on our nightstands, enLighten tracks our phone use over time and makes us aware of prolonged use by turning from a pleasant green to a pulsating red after repeated use. With this product, Shreyans intends to comment on the contemporary issues related to the impact of phone use on your lifestyles, health and relationships.
