Due to the user driven nature of this design we ended up going through multiple iterations and reviews, focusing on function and ease of instillation. Through this process we were able to minimize the number of steps needed to install the device as well as simplify the design from a manufacturing standpoint.
Cost was a major consideration with this fixture. While initial designs incorporated the use of die-cast components, through testing we were able to simplify the mounting mechanism with the final product being fabricated exclusively with sheet metal formation.

SlenderForm Expansions
One of my first assignments for Philips-Gardco was to design a pair of product line enhancements for the SlenderForm series of luminaries. The goal being to add useful options an existing product line, expanding our potential market share.
Both of these designs will be released early 2013.
