About Southern California Design Company

The Southern California Design (SCD) Company is a product development consulting firm that specializes in product design, development, marketing, and engineering. The president of the company, Travis Downing, and their team is looking to re-evaluate and re-design lighting systems for cyclists and mountain bikers. Currently, SCD has developed a combination of handlebar lights, called the HiLine Trio, to illuminate trails for riders. This set of handlebar lights are designed to provide adequate lighting for bikers by illuminating trails and roads while riding in the dark. To accompany the HiLine Trio, SCD is looking to develop a lightweight and compact helmet task light that will provide the user with close-range illumination. 

Requirements:

• Universal mounting system

• Durable for shock, vibration, and other rugged mountain biking conditions

• Close range illumination (minimum 24 lumens)

• Dust/Waterproof (resistant) with a rating of IP55

• Compact (0.5” or less in height)

• Lightweight (less than 0.5 lbs)

• Low-profile housing that blends into the shape of most helmets

Deliverables:

• Permanent mounting system that matches the curvature of a variety of helmets

• Detachable light housing via rail system with a magnetic locking mechanism 

• Rotation of light housing 30 degrees on either side

• 55 lumens of illumination

• Light housing satisfies IP55 rating

• Rechargeable battery via micro-USB
