Bio-degradable Luminaire.

I have designed a bio-luminaire using biodegradable materials. The design of the biodegradable luminaire is modular, allowing for easy disassembly and recycling. The lighting components consist of energy-efficient LED lights that consume very little power and emit no heat, ensuring a longer lifespan.The main advantages of biodegradable luminaires are their sustainable and environmentally friendly nature. They reduce the amount of electronic waste generated by the lighting industry, contributing to sustainable development goals.

1. draw the flat pattern of the shape which is about 250mm x 250mm.
2. save the file as a dxf or pdf for laser cutting.
3. use 4mm acrylic perspex.
4. bend the acrylic using the line bender at about ( 30 degrees)

1. tear 4 egg trays and put them inside the bucket.
2. add boiling water then let it soak for about 5 minuets.
