Apollo
Productdesign | Personal project
Apollo is a lamp aimed at environments where a powerful yet unobtrusive lighting source is needed. Suitable for photo and film, but also for museums and galleries.
Idea
For a long time I had been fascinated by powerful LED modules. The raw lighting power a square 100w module could deliver was just incredible to me. So I wanted to create a lamp which brings this power into a modern-looking and easy-to-use housing.
It took a few iterations from the first sketches to the final housing idea. Usually, I translate drawings into very rough clay 3D models to think about the overall look and feel. Based on that, I propel my ideas further into more detailed models.
Development
Stages of the ideation for the housing concept.
Usability
The power source is connected via XLR, an industry-approved and well-tested standard. The user can change the two values: light intensity, and colour temperature with rotary knobs.
Since the LED module gets relatively hot, there are huge vent holes on the bottom side of the housing to prevent it from overheating.
