Camping Flashlight Design
SolidWorks Class
Spring Semester, 2020
Project Objective:
To design, explode, and render a handheld, battery powered product.
For my design I attempted to create an improved camping product by combining the qualities of a lantern and a handheld flashlight into one form with two "modes".
Rotating the head of the flashlight would switch it to:
Off >> lantern mode >> flashlight mode
Above: 3d model render simulating lantern mode
Mood Board
Above: Collected designs that fulfilled a design language (in this case it was Braun-esque)
Mechanism Research
Above: annotated photos of various flashlights
Early Concepts
Above: preliminary design sketches in iso- and orthographic views

Animated Parts Explosion
