Solar Lampion, 2004, prototype by Damian O'Sullivan (Netherlands). A concept for a modern take on a Chinese lantern powered by sunlight. While most solar lamps are left outdoors, Solar Lampion is designed to be brought indoors at night. The lighting fixture incorporates 30 miniature solar panels arranged in
concentric circles and inclined at 30 degrees to capture the maximum amount of sunlight to charge the lantern’s battery. Each solar cell is connected to an LED. Photo by Paola Pieroni
