What does the traffic light do?
What are you doing while while waiting for the green light?
Designed by Psychic Factory, the Droplet Traffic Light is a new traffic light that displays the latest news in blurbs, along with weather conditions. It is even eco-conscious as well as solar powered, making it comfortable and green.
Corona is the solar-powered lighting system. This can be watched on the ground, attached to the wall, or just resting on the table. Solar voltaic cell of Corona solar light convert sunlight into energy during the day, and the LED automatically begins to glow when the sun sets. This solar powered outdoor light uses no glue or fasteners, making it easy to disassemble for recycling.
Firefly is a table that is designed for the parts outside the restaurant, cafe or even homes. This table does not needs a candle because it has inbuilt lights that charge during the day using solar power. In the daytime, the lamp located within the center radius of the table. When night comes, the top of the lamp is pressed, the lights came out and began to emit light at the top of the table. The underside of the lamp located above the stencil from the cafe choice (or selection of tables manufacturers) so the text or logo is projected onto a table leg. This design innovation is the fusion of tables function, extraordinary form and the message that the lamp project to the foot of the table. That message can be anything, from a logo or slogan of a company (because we are in the era of the dominant advertising) to the intimate messages, pictures or symbols. [Via]
Executive Summary about Solar Light by Jerome Sturgeleski
We all have access to a free, bright and renewable source of light – the sun. A great way to utilize it after dark is with solar lights. The lights are powered by light emitting diodes (LEDS) which rival hard-wired lights. Solar light have several advantage over hard-wired lights some of which:
After earthquake, tsunami and the destroyed Nuclear Power, the Japanese citizen must experience rotating blackouts.
To help the residents, Panasonic donated 4,000 pieces Solar Powered Lantern to the region’s most severe Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima.
The leading provider of digital office equipment, advanced document management solutions and services, Ricoh America Corporation has completed an electronic billboard for Times Square, completely powered by solar power.
This foldable and portable solar-powered lamp designed by Swedish designer Jesper Jonsson. It is charged in the daytime through solar power to provide energy to turn on lights when it gets dark. To light the lamp, unfold the shade through a circular motion. This allows for a small and portable if you want to bring it with you, but still has a larger surface to emit light when required. A strap with a magnet allows you to hang the lamp in a variety of ways, whether it is closed or opened.
Solar Indoor Light from Simax Materials Solutions Pte Ltd is a new solar candles and lamps that use solar power to light your way and specifies the special mood.
The Solar Indoor Light will combine battery lead and motion sensors to help them stay bright longer. Lamps and candles come in various designs and colors and sell for S$12.00.
Edan Kurzweil has come up with Solar Path Lighting known as the Night Owl.
Paths and street lighting units are illuminated through a high-output LED clusters that rely on batteries charged by large flexible polymer solar film established on the top of the lamp. Lights will also be hardwired into the electricity network in the city to return the extra solar energy back into the city or to attract a minimum charge for a long winter, or extended periods of time without sunlight. Solar module is covered within the transparent sphere that reduces the accumulation of debris, which in turn reduces maintenance costs.
NOTHING dESIGN GROUP, a Korean design studios and Asiana Airlines, a Korean airlines company, together with Korea International Cooperation Agencies (KOICA) have collaborated to develop and install Solar Powered Street Lights to the world cultural heritage sites designated by UNESCO in the Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The lights installed there to protect and provide security for tourists visiting the area.
This Solar Deck Light adds accent lighting to your deck, front steps or along dark pathways using solar power and cord-free. On sunny days, solar cells collect and store free energy of the sun into included rechargeable NiMH batteries. When the sun sets, four super-bright LEDs activate lighting for about 5 hours with full charge.
The Moon-Leaves designed by Marta Laudani and Marco Romanelli for an Italian design firm, Plust. The Moon-Leaves are maxi stylized leaves in luminescent polyethylene and finished by photoluminescent.
They harness the solar power during the day, and loads of energy to offer a soft glow at night, making an unusual decoration or a sign useful to guide guests to your front door.
If you are looking for some unique accent outdoor lighting for your garden, check out this cool new Blossoming Garden Solar Light. By day, the motorized translucent petals bloom open such as flower to direct sunlight, and collects the sun’s energy into a rechargeable battery. At night, petals shut automatically and the internal LED accents lights began to illuminate. They come in white or pink and features metal stem with a bronze finish.
If you are searching for something a little different as far as the solar lights go you can take Wild Grass Solar Garden Lights. You can jam the stakes into the soil and make it look as if you have a random clump of grass glowing in the dark.
In explaining this project, the comment made by the designers at Onø Design “sensibly reusing the daylight” as far as how the lamp is basically one giant solar charged LED lighting. How beautiful?
