solar lighting

Check out this eco-friendly solar charged lamp that almost looks like a flower in a pot when it is charging. This waterproof lamp can be used inside or outside. Simply turn it upside down to allow it to charge. The step-up converter inside the lamp produces significantly more power than conventional solar cells enabling it to be charged inside your home on the window sill!

Two to eight light emitting diodes (LEDs) encased in polycarbonate resin are combined with a small photovolatic cell to power the lights for up to about 15 hours after an 8 hour charge in sunlight. Energy is stored via capacitor technology, negating the need for batteries. Available with a 10 year warranty the lights are said to last for more than 25 years, even if it rains, or folk drive on top of them.
