The Solna lamp aims to raise awareness of the effects of light and support users throughout the day with various light settings. Inspired by the light of a summer day, it reproduces these light settings. A special feature of Solna is its operation through physical interaction: folding the lamp itself changes the light color. Additionally, Solna offers users the option to be exposed to particularly bright light in the morning. This light can inhibit melatonin production and activate the body. To create different light settings, a rotary potentiometer is used to determine the degree of opening. This is measured by the resistance of the potentiometer and converted into five stages (closed, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°). A microcontroller reads the resistance and adjusts the lamp's light setting accordingly. Solna supports health and well-being according to SDG 3 for all people.
