Task 3

Concept generation using Customer Feedback System

#	Customer Statement	Need Statement
1	The light can not be deemed..the 3 mode of light actualy does not help much..the light covers a very very less area..the only positive thing of this lamp is it is light weight,portable and small..u can take it in your college bag also..but not good for self study where u have to use a book and a note to write.the light is sufficient for only and only one book.. Model-Mi Rechargeable LED Table Lamp	Need light quality with dim specifications and to cover large surface area
2	Trust me battery back up is very pooR Model-Mi Rechargeable LED Table Lamp	Need a good battery backup for the lamp
3	Don't go for phillips name as I had used it nowhere written phillips or as a sub brand . Everything is good except the Battery backup .... Where charging time is above 6 hours and Battery backup is almost 2 hour 40 minutes. You can't use it while charging as it continue to lower light even you are charging it. The best part is it can be chargeable through any powerbank Model-Phillips Ecolink Cap Rechargeable	Need extended battery backup
4	Not at all stable whatever position you keep it keeps on falling. Dim light of no use. Model-Phillips Ecolink Cap Rechargeable	A stable lamp design is needed with a dim light
5	No you don’t need this product. Eye soreness increased with the usage of product and can’t return due to Amazon policies. So in short use good lighting in your workspace and a good monitor that’s it. No need to extra spend on this product. Thanks. Model-BenQ LED lamp	Eye comfort should be keep on eye while designing the product
6	Apparently it will only work with the supplied USB cable and no extensions. Otherwise it won't stay on. To route the cable so it's not running across my desk I need to use an extension. I want to run it behind then under the desk forward to my computer, which is in front of the desk on the left. With the length of the USB cable supplied I have to run it as shown. Otherwise I find it bright and effective. It would be nice nice to know what the color temperature is when you change it. I'm left to putting a white piece of paper under the light and adjusting until it looks white. Model-BenQ LED lamp	An extended USB supply extension for any kind of power bank to charge the lamp is required. Need to design more customer-required product

We have obtained some of the required need from the customers and in the upcoming part we will make consideration of this need statement to generate the concept idea for designing the LED desktop lamp

• Evaluation aspects
  • Is the LED desk lamp product exciting and attractive?
  • What image and identity does it bring to the customers?
  • Does the LED desk lamp inspire pride of ownership?

c) Easy to Maintain and Repair

• This criterion evaluated the ease of maintaining and the repair of the product,and the lifetime experience.
• Evaluation aspects
  • Is it easy and obvious to maintain the LED desktop Lamp?
  • How easy will the LED desk lamp fail and how to repair it ?
  • Does the LED desk lamp product effectively communicate assembly/disassembly procedures?

Simplicity

• Evaluation aspects
  • What single problem does the product solve clearly and thoroughly?
    • Yes, it does solve the single problem of providing a straight beam of brighter light for working purposes.
  • Does each feature solve a single problem effectively?
    • Yes, the controller switch and touchpad help in adjusting the brightness of the LED desk lamp
  • What features can be removed without sacrificing satisfaction?
    • The LED desk lamp is simple in design but if new addition of a touchpad is included then it can be removed because without a touchpad controller switch can do the job

Immediate intuition

• Questions to ask
  • Are the function and operating procedure obvious?
    • Yes
  • How long would it take someone to understand it for the first time?
    • Hardly 30 sec to 1 minute to understand
    • The product is user friendly
  • How can the product reduce stress when using it?
    • The light system in many areas is not good to provide an equal amount of brightness in all directions
    • Hence LED desktop Lamp focuses on one aspect to provide task lighting by reducing stress to work on less light situation

  • Does the product promote pride of ownership?
    • Yes

Ergonomics

• It uses psychological and physiological principles in the design and engineering process.
• Questions to ask?
  • Will people feel comfortable using the product for a long time ?
    • Yes the LED desk Lamp has a long life span with good rechargeable battery availability
  • Will repetitive operations hurt people's bodies?
    • No, it doesn't hurt the human eye because the CRI index is low which provides eye comfort to the patient.

Generate industrial design drawings (hand sketch is fine, but encourage to use Photoshop or illustrator is possible) and explain how it differs from initial concept

Industrial design Concept

• The design I have created is using infinite painter app which is a free software to paint
• I don't have access to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator hence I found infinite painter software simple to use
• A simple design is created with some new features
