Lexilight Reading Lamp

Lexilight Reading Lamp is an innovative reading light solution specifically designed to assist individuals with dyslexia in achieving more comfortable and efficient reading experiences. This groundbreaking lighting fixture combines pulsed and modulated light technology to eliminate the mirror effect commonly experienced by dyslexic readers, enabling them to read with greater ease, increased speed, and reduced eye strain. The design philosophy embraces both functionality and aesthetic appeal, featuring a thoughtfully crafted form that resembles a caring companion bending over reading material, much like a parent or teacher helping a child learn to read. The lamp's sophisticated design language successfully bridges multiple user demographics, making it equally appropriate in educational settings, professional environments, and home spaces. Manufactured with high-quality materials including ABS with metal painting finishing for the head, PMMA-injected light diffuser, and ZAMAC-constructed anodized foot, the lamp demonstrates exceptional build quality and durability. The product's dimensions of 270mm width, 185mm depth, and 300mm height create an optimal footprint for desktop use, while its ergonomic design includes two potentiometers that allow users to fine-tune light wave pulsation and modulation to their individual needs. The lamp's development, which took place between November 2018 and October 2019, involved extensive research and user testing with over 220 participants, leading to its recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. This achievement acknowledges the lamp's innovative approach to addressing reading challenges while maintaining high standards of design excellence. The product's social impact is further enhanced by its manufacturing process, which supports inclusive employment practices in France.
