Dual-Purpose Lighting

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trioh! by Greg Hinzmann is Both a Table Lamp and Flashlight

— June 22, 2012 — Art & Design
While a lamp may be incredibly handy and practical as is, Trioh! by Greg Hinzmann takes it to a whole other level. It is a two-in-one light fixture that breaks apart into a flashlight in emergencies. Essentially, it is an unassuming table lamp when resting in its charging dock and when necessary, the top portion can be released and utilized as a portable torch.

The simple and sleek design of the Trioh! by Greg Hinzmann makes it the perfect accessory for any home. The Oregon-based industrial designer wanted to make sure that such a universally useful tool would satisfy the tastes of just about any individual. The best feature about this light is that when there is a power outage, it senses it through the charger and automatically illuminates.
