The Wick-less Candle Lamp

Inspiration

PLA Lid

Transluscent PLA

Research and Ideation

Transluscent PETG

White LED

LED Housing

2xAA Batteries

Iterating the internals came next, and I experimented with button and wheel activation. I ultimately decided on button activation and designed a holder for both the LED and a space for the AA battery holder.

Experimenting with materials was necessary in order to find the best way to create the lighting effects that I wanted. From using different colored LEDs, to going between PLA and PETG, I found that blue transparent PETG was the most effective.

Design Goal:

To design a lamp that combines the ambient glow of a lantern with focused task lighting. It will feature minimal yet structured forms, evoking a sense of tranquility and timeless elegance.
