Solar Powered Streetlights That Become One With the Canopy
Solar energy is still running well despite the bad economic environment and while people are searching for green alternatives, designers are trying hard to come up with stylish and innovative options, that blend creativity with utility. Designed by Jongoh Lee, the beautiful, ergonomic and natural looking streetlights merge seamlessly into the natural canopy around to harness solar power effectively. The cute and leaf-like streetlights capture sun’s energy throughout the day and use it to power what looks like their LED lights during night.
Dubbed the ‘Invisible Streetlights’ they have a flexible body that allows to be part of any natural tree that lines up the streets of the big cities. However, the problem with the model is obvious: it needs a clear top above the light to tap into the sun’s rays and clear space beneath, to emit light at night.
Of course, it works great as even interior lighting option if you could modify it to suit your needs!

Home solar systems are
getting less expensive by the month.
The new tax breaks are going to make
it easier for most homeowners
to afford AND the handyman homeowner
can actually do this himself without
much difficuly.
Thanks for the great info at your
