IncLEDible was a project aiming to generate eco-friendly LED-based concepts for future industrial lighting, with focus on mining facilities, in order to provide better working environments.

Current lighting systems in those facilities are extremely inconvenient. They are low on efficiency, they require active maintenance, and they have a large negative impact on the productivity of workers.

The process consisted of user study, idea creation, technical- and industrial design and prototyping. The project outcomes included a high-bay light -concept with functional prototype, product family concept, visualizations and animations and documentation over the research.

incLEDi-High: High-bay industrial light utilizing led-technology. The body is extruded aluminium profile, the end plates are injection molded plastic
Explosion view
Product family concept: incLEDi-High: for general lighting, attached to ceiling at 8-15 meters incLEDi-Low: for general lighting at lower level, can be used for targeting specific objects incLEDi-Out: for general lighting outside incLEDi-Hang: for directional lighting, can be attached to rails and directed as wanted
