Mechanized Smart Lamp

A lighting-product manufacturer requires a compact smart lamp with controlled mechanical movement, as conventional lamps provide limited flexibility in automatically adjusting their position or direction according to user requirements. The proposed product should allow convenient control of light direction or position while providing simple user interaction, improving usability and adaptability for study tables, workspaces, bedrooms, offices, and educational environments.
