The German iF Design Award, abbreviated as "iF", was founded in 1953. The award is held annually by Hannover Industrie Forum Design (iF Industrie Forum Design), the oldest industrial design institution in Germany. The German IF International Design Forum selects the iF Design Award every year. It is renowned worldwide for its judging philosophy of "independence, rigor, and reliability," aiming to enhance public awareness of design. Its prestigious Gold Award is known as the "Oscar of product design." In 2020, international giants such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, IBM, LG, Samsung, Sony, ASUS, and Schneider Electric gathered at iF to showcase innovative design products.

The German Thorsman work light is easy to transport, carry, and store, and provides clever functionality. Its frame is a simple plastic half-tube, making the product lightweight yet sturdy enough to protect the lamp and store the cable. The frame also serves as a clever handle, allowing users to manipulate the product when the bulb becomes hot. With its smart frame, the Mureva can be used in different positions. It can be placed on the ground using its frame as a stand, or hung up via its integrated hook. The lamp can also be rotated to provide precise and direct illumination.

Introduction to German Thorsman Company

In 1957, a man named Oswald Thorsman (Oswald Thorsman) had an idea for better securing lamps and other items. He molded the first sample of what is now known as the plastic plug in his kitchen oven. This innovation led to the establishment of the Thorsman company. Soon after, junction boxes, cable trunking, and everything else an electrician might need followed. Today, the Thorsman company has been integrated into Schneider Electric, but to honor innovation and quality, fixing materials still bear the thorsman family name. The main products of the German Thorsman company includeThorsman work lights andThorsman sealed TET.German Thorsman's TET seals come in two different materials: ethylene propylene (EPDM) rubber and chloroprene (CR) rubber. They are designed to provide completely dustproof and watertight sealing for cables, conduits, and pipes, such as those in automobiles, aircraft, ships, electrical and hydraulic equipment, enclosed equipment, and lighting fixtures. Both materials are weather-resistant and high-temperature resistant, suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Advantages of German Thorsman's TET seals: Fast installation—no need to tighten grommets during sealing; allows vibration of cables, conduits, and pipes without damaging the seal; the sealing membrane is only pierced when pulling out the cable, acting as a blind plug; approved for installation on ships; very wide sealing range for each size. Protection rating reaches IP67. Certifications for German Thorsman's TET seals: Approved by Lloyd's Register, Det Norske Veritas (Det Norske Veritas) for offshore and nearshore applications, as well as by the national watertight penetration certification committees of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Protection rating IP67, compliant with IEC. GermanFor details on Thorsman work lights and sealing products, see/usercategory/product/595567/。
