I designed a biodegradable smart hanging luminaire with a weather sensor, sound sensor, and TV soapies sensor that is innovative and sustainable lighting solution for indoor or outdoor use. The luminaire is designed to be made from biodegradable materials such as egg trays and flour, which would allow it to be environmentally friendly and easily disposed of at the end of its life cycle.


The weather sensor is integrated into the luminaire to detect changes in temperature, humidity, and light levels, allowing it to adjust its lighting output accordingly. This makes it an excellent option for outdoor settings where natural light levels can change throughout the day.


The sound sensor detects changes in ambient noise levels and adjusts the luminaire's lighting accordingly. For example, if the noise level in a room increases, the luminaire could adjust its lighting to become brighter, making it easier for people to see and communicate with each other.


The TV soapies sensor detects when someone is watching TV and adjusts the luminaire's lighting accordingly. For example, if someone is watching TV in a dimly lit room, the luminaire could automatically adjust its lighting to provide sufficient illumination without creating glare on the screen.


Overall, a biodegradable smart hanging luminaire with weather, sound, and TV soapies sensors would be a unique and sustainable lighting solution that could enhance the user experience while minimizing its environmental impact.

1. Collect and Sort Materials: Start by collecting all the necessary materials like paper, water, and additives such as color dye or bonding agents. Then sort the papers based on their type, color and size.

2. Shredding: The paper should then be shredded into small pieces, it should be in an almost powdery consistency if possible.

3. Soaking: After shredding the paper, the small pieces should be soaked in a container filled with water for a day or two until the paper completely dissolves into the water.

4. Blending: Using a blender or a mixer, blend the soaked paper mixture until a uniform pulp is formed. The longer it blends, the smoother the pulp will be.

5. Moulding: Pour the pulp into a suitable mould and give it the desired shape, each pulp product will have a unique mould that should be prepared beforehand.

6. Pressing and Drying: After molding the pulp, press it to remove any excess water, then dry it by placing it in an oven or under the sun.

7. Finishing: Once the product is completely dry, it should be sanded and painted or varnished if necessary to give it a smooth finish.
