The teardown and Life cycle Analysis of a standard desk lamp was a huge eye-opener for me. The difficulty of separation of parts and huge amount of unidentifiable component materials mean that disposal of it means landfill. I decided to approach the design of a more sustainable lamp more holistically. People tend to treat items which are useful to them more carefully. I noticed that at times there could be several types of lamps in a room all with different functions. If a lamp could be created which satisfies several functionalities then it would be less likely to be broken. It's tiny number of five main components actually help it transition from ambient and spotlighting into a torch lighting. If a part requires disposal the Dio lamps main components are biodegradeable in outdoor conditions.
