Eco Factor: Concept lamp reduces energy use with LEDs.
In addition to food, water and radios, one thing that camping enthusiasts never forget is taking a flashlight along with additional ambient sources of illumination. Industrial designers Kyeore Kim, Jaesuk Han, Sungkuk Hong and Sena Joo are trying to reduce the weight of their backpacks with a concept solution dubbed FLEXI.
The all-in-one lighting solution for outdoor use is a flexible flashlight that can be used for both directional light and ambient illumination. When direction light is needed, the flexible sheet can be rolled in the form of a flashlight and when only ambient light is needed, the FLEXI can be used like an open sheet.
The concept is made of a thin rectangular silicon pad which is fitted with powerful but energy-efficient LED lights along its edge. The users can roll the pad into different shapes for different types of lighting needs.
