DesignWorks Berkeley Lamp LightFair Exhibit April 10, 2001 Display Booth workup

Requirement, goals and constraints for LightFair 2001

• The essential requirements, goals, and constraints include: The space is 10 feet square, with two sides and a back. The front 5 feet of the side walls must not exceed 4 feet in height There are no structural components existing in the exhibit space (the exhibit must

be freestanding) The display must show off the lamp's flexibility for effective use in different

environments (office reading, office conference, office computer work, hospitality, home office desk lamp, general ambient lighting lamp, etc.)

The display must show off the lamp's high light quality (no glare, good spatial variability and distribution, good color, high light output)

The display should show off the lamp's energy efficiency. The show is the end of May and the exhibit should be ready for shipment the

middle of May. The display should elicit responses of "hey, that's cool". The display must be set up so that 2 to 3 people can man it effectively. The display must be broken down to be shipped in crates. The display must cost less than $ 5000
