Concept

My concept is to design a lamp that can only be switched off using the 478 breathing techniques. Inhale through nose for 4 counts, hold it for 7 counts and exhale through the mouth for 8 counts. The exhaling part will then dim the light a little after sensing the 8 seconds of "wind". After 4 cycles of 478 breathing, the light will be completely turned off. User can say the word "RELAX" to switch on the light again.

Context of Use

Anywhere that is quiet so that user will not be distracted. Can be used as a bedside lamp, and do the breathing exercise to turn off the light to get a better sleep. Can be used in office to calm yourself down in stressful working environment.
