Solar Energy Powers Leaf-Shaped LED Lamp

Solar Energy Powers Leaf-Shaped LED Lamp

We’ve seen some interesting examples of LED desk lamps, but the Greendix Lumileaf recently debuted by Sonelis Technologies takes top honors, by virtue of both its elegant design and the fact that it doesn’t come with a plug.Corrine Grimley Evans, a spokesman for the Oxford Pedestrians dstti Association, said the county council's plans for a redesign involving roundabouts would improve life for those on foot.As previously revealed in The Oxford Times, the county compact fluorescent council is considering permanently removing the lights and replacing them with a system of roundabouts.

Housed within this lamp’s brushed aluminum frame is a 1.25W leaf-shaped solar panel, which harvests both direct and ambient light. Power is stored in a built-in 1800mA NiMH battery which then provides juice, after dark, to six 1.2 watt high-brightness energy-efficient LEDs–which, according to Sonelis, provide “ample light for any situation.”

As an added bonus, this desk lamp is waterproof, and was designed for use in both outdoor and indoor environments–in case, perhaps, you’d like to sit outside on a summer’s night with a good book. (An ambient sensor here automatically controls the LED’s operation, so this light comes on whenever it gets dark.)

Sonelis, which bills itself as “a solar panel distributor and design house that specializes in custom shaped mono/poly Silicon crystalline solar panels,” also points out that the LED lights in the Lumileaf are embedded directly into the solar panel."This mandate has sweeping effects on American led light families and businesses and needs serious consideration before taking effect,'' she added. A design which common sense says would limit its effectiveness in a downward-facing desk lamp–but hey,The accidental experiment came just weeks before the county led tube council is set to publish a new report on the future of the square. LEDs don’t require much juice to stay lit.Many city taxi drivers have table lamps called for lights to be removed since they were first installed a decade ago.
