Everlite: Solar-Powered Portable LED Lights
by on 05.25.05
Three worthy attributes: "portable", "LED" and "solar"! Everlites are task lights that run automatically from dusk to dawn. They are charged by a weatherproof solar panel, and are meant to run for 12 hours on just 3 hours of sunlight. They are also intended to be portable, for use at campsites and remote locations. They have a compact and "mini" versions too, which are even smaller than the one shown here. The manufacturer says you can also plug you in your cell phone or GPS into the lights, using a car adaptor and a 12V accessory. :: Everlite [by Justin Thomas]
That link should point to http://www.newlite.com -- the place it's pointing now is just a domain-squatter site.
This looks like the closest to one of my dream products so far. Ordered the mini and compact light just now. Cheapest prices from http://www.kansaswindpower.net/portable_led_lights.htm.
Now if they'd only allow for battery switching.
What a great idea. Finally, a solar powered light that you can actually see with!
