2018 Design Problem
The light fixture should provide good quality lighting for identifying stains, matching colors, and washing clothes and linens. The space should be a pleasant place to hang out. The lighting for the café area is not your responsibility unless you choose to have your light fixture illuminate both the laundromat and café areas. Keep in mind that laundromats are humid spaces, and cafes have health and safety regulations with which to comply. Use energy-efficient light sources. Do not use retrofit lamps that fit into incandescent sockets. Identify all major components and materials of the fixture. Document the fixture as instructed under the Competition Rules.
