Function Criteria:
| 1. | Height Adjustable (24″ minimum) |
| Ideally 10″ to 24″ of clearance for detail and general work (and to clear monitor height) | |
| 2. | Swivel |
| Lamp head needs to adjust to spatial changes in environment, e.g., placing foreign objects on table that may interfere with light | |
| 3. | Minimal Footprint |
| Limited working space | |
| 4. | Effortless On/Off Control |
| Lamp will be toggled on and off frequently, so it needs to be easy to find and activate & shouldn’t be placed on the base as the base can become covered with paper | |
| 5. | Dimming (Hi/Lo) |
| Controllable light intensity for detail, general, and ambient purposes |
Engineering Criteria:
| 1. | Buildable |
| Task lamps needs to be buildable with available materials, tools, and methods | |
| 2. | Light Output |
| Lux (SI unit of Illuminance) needs to be suitable for a task lamp | |
| 3. | Heat Dissipation |
| High-output LED engines require additional heat dissipation *Important from tests |
|
| 4. | Light Spread |
| Light engines emit light from a small area and may need a diffuser | |
| 5. | Lens Protection |
| Prohibit direct contact with the lenses of the light engines |
