Lite-US Live your life right!
Challenge: Design a responsive lighting fixture using the “C” by General Electric LED bulb that includes innovation, usage of up and coming materials and processes, and a user friendly design for the every day consumer. Solution: Introducing Lite-Us, a desktop lamp utilizing the C-Sleep bulb brought to consumers by General Electric to help control the natural sleep cycle. Lite-Us combines motifs found from the Lotus, a plant known for its daily blossoming ritual as inspiration from nature and futuristic technology found in science fiction and aerospace engineering. Lite-Us is controlled using the C by GE application to control the light settings to three separate cycles: Morning, Day, and Night. The fixture itself also includes a simple weather indicator showcasing the temperature and conditions, and a conductive charging dish to place all smart technology for wirelss charging
Lite-Us = Lotus + Lite(Light) + Us (representing the demographic for all ages). Brand name chosen to be representative of the solution that can be solved through design.

Looking for a Smart Lamp to keep up with current tech. Owns a 3D Printer and is a DIY enthusiast.
Young and full of creativity! Loves to color and falling asleep to her night-light to keep away the monsters.
Love to watch Star Wars movies and enjoy building models of spaceships and classic muscle cars together
User Profiles for Lite-Us span from all ages and demographics. Through it’s easy interface and awe-inspiring appeal, anyone and everyone can appreciate the simplistic form and benefit to help establish a natural sleep rythem.
Trend Board for the Lite-Us project included searching through images of nature, science fiction renderings, and architecture. Also notable finds include modern lighting instillations that had nature inspired elements and motifs.
Initial conceptual sketching for analysis on form and function for Lite-Us. Shapes and structures influenced by lighting design throughout the ages to capture a full spectrum of what Lite-Us can offer. http://www.taylorscottross.com/drawings/
Orthographic Drawing and ideation sketching for Lite-Us. The idea behind the drawing is to capture the beauty of Nature that is ever present in our world while resting upon mankind’s contribution of technology. Both in perfect balance and harmony.
Why the Lotus?: One of the reasons that lotus flowers are considered so sacred amongst many religions, societies and belief systems is due to their daily cycle, they emerge slowly from dirty, muddy ponds over a period of a few days, and open all in the morning, and close their petals in the late afternoon. The Circadian Rhythm and it’s Importance: The natural biological process that is covered over a period of 24 hours to regulate when our bodies need reset. This is important because in order to have a productive day, one’s circadian rythem needs to be in check to perform at the highest level. The Effect of Light on Human Circadian Physiology: Science shows that our bodies react to certain hues of light that effect the way our body perceives our circadian rythem. A warmer hue of light in the morning, a brighter white light during the day, and a cooler blue light at night keep our bodies responding appropriately.

CAD Renderings of Lite-Us in it’s three stages as follows from left to right: Morning, Day and Night. The different segments of the lamp that illuminate lay flush the lamp to provide interesting negative space and a dazzling display wherever the light reaches.

Exploded view of the Lite-Us with locations of features: 1. C Sleep Bulb, screwed in and powered by plug-in-wall cord. 2. Conductive charging plate used to wirelessly charge a phone. 3. Simplistic Weather indicator showing temperature and status.
Lite-Us is controlled using “C” by GE in order to switch between Morning, Day and Night settings and can be programmed to do so automatically to your particular circadian rythem. Weather Indicator also controlled through a weather widget in the app.
