Photo Light

This thesis was carried out for BOID in cooperation with Recycling Development. The purpose was to investigate what requirements photographers and motion picture producers have on light equipment and what would be beneficial in a future light solution, and as a result develop a new light solution based on recycled LCD-monitors and LED light.

This was done through phases of literature study, interviews with users and experts, observations and focus groups. This was then followed by idea generation, consisting of brainstorming through sketching, model creation and making a number of concepts. These concepts were evaluated and developed further resulting in a product family where two of the concepts were developed in detail while the others remained on a conceptual level. The result of the thesis is a new family of light solutions, designed to be more portable, energy efficient and environmentally beneficial then current solutions.
