Exploration and Application of Ecodesign Strategies in Lighting Design

[[abstract]]Due to the changes in the ecological environment and the emphasis on environmental protection, enterprises pursue environmentally growth and provide environmentally conscious green products. Therefore, designers need to considerate the environmental impacts on every stage of a product life cycle to make the products which will meet the environmental need. The aim of this paper is to research how green design makes an influence upon luminary design. Besides examining the presenting of feature in light design, it generalizes how ecodesign strategies and principle are applied and expressed on the each stage of the luminary life cycle. The study employs the result from design theory to apply to the real case of luminary design. In the study, it employs two main ecodesign strategies, such as selection of low-impact materials and optimization of end-of-life system, to design three type of light product. Through the design process illustrate how to lead the creative concept to match the core principle of Ecodesign. The findings of this study are listed as follow: 1. Utilize recycled and recyclable plastic material can improve the stability of product lifetime and enhance the recyclability. 2. Depending on understanding the material properties and provide flexible components, it could extend the usage cycle of light product. Moreover, structured appearances in the light product invest with a new look and style, it also increases the quality of logistic. There are three benefits of structured lighting. First, pentagon structured pattern create more change of products mixed. Secondly, flake structured would abridge its size in the logistic process, and it also could make the product easy to assemble and dismantle. Third, transparent materials structure spatiality and variation in the luminary.
