researchit all started with...

An LED lantern was purchased and taken apart. From the beginning, it was apparent that innovations for minimizing waste in everything including the packaging were possible.

After dissecting the lantern, we discovered

that the lantern was constructed of over 50 separate pieces and parts.

After analysis of an existing lantern, I began to brainstorm over possible simple solutions. I broke a portable light into its basic elements: a switch, battery, lamp (LED), and substrate. From there I did a couple of studies to come up with ways these basic elements could be

configured.
