Eco Factor: Solar-powered LED lights with a battery backup.
Lights always add to your happiness, and when it’s festive season they’re always in high demand. Trying to keep your carbon footprint to a minimum is Kyouei Design of Japan. The company has debuted solar powered LED mobile lights that gives an impression of a glowing galaxy at night.
The lights which automatically come to life after the sun sets, and come with backup batteries to keep your personal galaxy glowing, even after a cloudy day. Each set of three LED lights hangs from the ceiling by a strong nylon fishing line. The lights do cost a fortune, as each set is tagged at $213.
The Dark Side:
Apart for the high cost, the lights are meant to be put up indoors. This gives us an opinion that most of the times they would be lit up using the internal AA batteries, putting a full stop to the solar panels, which are integrated in these lights.
