This report describes the development of a Portable Wake up Light for the VitaLight Department of Philips in Drachten. The project focuses on a Wake-up Light which is efficient in both size and production costs. It includes an extensive consumer research, containing a survey with almost 14OO respondents and 2 focus groups, to research the product need and to map the product requirements from a consumer point of view. Common brainstorm techniques where used to generate three concepts, which were presented to VitaLight’s Innovation and Development department as well as the Marketing department to identify the best concept, from a product development and marketing perspective. The proposed concept was built into a prototype, fully functioning on its light feature and used as a show model. A second design and prototype, using the same light technology, but with slightly different characteristics, was derived from the first design. Both models are a showcase for the product category, displaying the possibilities of a Wake-up Light, small in size and producible against limited costs.
