Durability
I expect my product to last for life if it’s used carefully and my product will be socket powered therefore, batteries will not be used and so the batteries will not be replaced as it would be socked powered however, only the bulb will need to be replaced so that it can light up.
Aesthetics
My product will need to be colourful and attractive; this is because my product is aimed at 12 year olds.
Materials
I believe acrylic material will be the best to use as I can bend the material, it’s light and I can get see through type and full coloured ones. I can make a stand with acrylic material because I can bend it.
Safety
Safety will be an important part because it can cause injury if the product isn’t made properly.
So I will consider making product as safe as possible by making sure it has no sharp edges and I will make sure my product is tightly assembled.
Cost
Most of the table lamps cost around £14.99 so to remain competitive my product will cost fairly cheap something around £9.99 so that people buys my product.
Green Issues
My product will be very environmentally friendly as it will be electronically powered and will use low power and energy saving bulbs. Also I will make sure that my product is tested by a company called Energy Star to see if it uses low power and is environmentally friendly before it is marketed so that people can easily identify my product is environmentally friendly.
Manufacture
My process of my design will need to be made man made if a make multiple products then I would need to use a robot or something similar so that I can make a profit out of my product
Packaging
My product will be flat pack as I’m making a self assembly product this is an advantage because it will save money as well as it being more eco friendly. My product will include guidance so that customers can use it normally and also it will reduce damage to the product.
