The FLEXI is an all in one lighting concept by designers Kyeore Kim, Jaesuk Han, Sungkuk Hong, and Sena Joo. The idea is to provide many different forms of lighting from one source, to be a lightweight product to take when camping or for general use.
The FLEXI is basically a silicon sheet which features a row of LED lights at one end of it. The sheet of silicon is meant to be rectangular and very thin, to allow it to take up little room while being light weight. By having the LED lights incorporated into the design only along one edge it allows the sheet to be used in many different ways. By positioning the lights at one end of it when rolled up, the FLEXI can be used as a torch, the multiple LEDs giving it a bright beam of directed light. By rolling it with the LEDs along one edge you create a longline light, and by leaving the silicon mat flat you create a useful ambient light source.
Though LEDs do not require much electricity to work, they do require some. Thus far there is no suggestion of where a power source would be placed and incorporated into the design. It would be nice to see maybe a flexible solar panel also built into the light.
