E-waste in Europe is becoming a serious problem. Below is a desk lamp designed to be almost entirely made up of components from a used E-scooter, a Segway NineBot. The design utilises two rotary torque hinges, allowing the user to direct the light at their desired angle. When shone straight down, the light illuminates a frosted glass tube, creating an ambient glow for evening work.
The NineBot Lamp has been fitted with a Phillips Hue bulb, which has been selected for a number of reasons. It is energy efficient, provides a range of colours, temperatures and intensities, allowing the user to tailor their light to suit their desired experience and, it can be powered on and off and controlled via the Phillips Hue app, avoiding the need for buttons and unnecessary components, increasing the simplicity of the device. It is to be powered by a reused, onboard battery, which is preinstalled, and previously used to power the E-scooter.
