Evaluation and Feedback for DT Lighting Product

Hi Guys,
It's been a long time since my last post and thats because I'm now coming to the end of the DT GCSE project (see my last post for more details).
For the final section of the project I need some comments from the "target user group", i.e. modellers. I have attached a photo of the finished device. The features it includes and some of the question I would love you to answer are:

  • 5 LED outputs, each controlled by a SPDT switch and a variable resistor
  • A higher voltage output powered off a separate input which can be switched on/off and have the polarities reversed, suitable for a motor or smoke machine.
  • All of these outputs are controllable via the mounted switches or the PICAXE IC, a small chip which, if a seperate cable is bought, can be programmed using free computer software (either using 'basic' programming language or flowcharts) to automate the product.
  • The case is constructed out of a mixture of 3mm white acrylic and 3mm laser ply.
  • The cost of construction was 19 pounds, so if a retailer sold it, it would cost 38 pounds - do you think this is a reasonable price, if not what price would you reccomend?
  • Is the product too large or wieldy or would you prefer it to be even bigger?
  • It is powered by the mains via a commercial transformer.
  • Would you buy this if you saw it in a model shop? Why?
  • Do you think it is to a high quality?
  • Do you like it? Why?
  • What improvements would you want to be made to it and why?

 


Thanks to all those who comment. If you have any questions, just post them below and I'll get back.
