Team Lumen was tasked with designing an affordable lamp for rural Cambodia to replace kerosene lamps. They observed lamp usage in the area and identified a need for a portable, ambient light source powered by solar energy with no ongoing costs. Their final design, called the Moonlight, features 6 wide-angle LEDs powered by a 0.5 Wp solar panel providing 3 hours of full light and 4 hours of dimmed light on a charge. Feedback from users was positive about the design, ease of use, brightness, and affordability.

Poor quality of light Flammability Health hazards Volatile fuel prices
Traditional methods don’t work… How can you design in an unfamiliar world?How 2 innovate? How can you design a product in 3 months, in a world that you don’t anything about it…?
Engage the user through the whole process… uncover latent needs, wants and desires
Enrich the dialogue Evaluate Differences between the Western world and Cambodia
