Solar Keyring Torch
March 30th, 2008 by Edwin in Electronic Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
The Solar Keyring Torch ensures you no longer have to fumble at the door whenever arrive home after a late night date, as it provides ample light from a trio of LEDs to keep your keyhole illuminated. Since it is solar-powered, there is no need to worry about dead batteries as well.
The best things in life are free, and sunlight is pretty well at the top of the list. The only trouble is of course, that the sun has a regular habit of shuffling off to the other side of the world leaving everything a little dark round here. Fortunately this little gizmo ensures that the sun leaves a little light behind that you can carry around with you on a key ring. It’s integral mini solar panel stores up energy from the sun and via it’s three super-bright LEDs becomes a blazing and very useful little torch when night falls. Many of these sorts of solar powered lights can have a tendency to be a tad lame, but this one is not only astonishingly bright, it also lasts for an absurdly long period of time, so long in fact that we don’t know how long it is - we got bored waiting for it to run out of power. It comes in a shock resistant rubber casing, and naturally requires no batteries, ever. Free light for life.
I Want One of Those is selling the Solar Keyring Torch for £7.99.

March 23rd, 2008 by Edwin in Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
Since the 50-LED Solar Motion Floodlight relies on the power of the sun to get it going, you don’t have to worry about spoiling your room with ugly wiring.
Super-bright 50-LED floodlight is as bright as a 10w halogen bulb, and stays on for 15-60 seconds (your choice) past last motion detected. And since this motion sensor light is solar-charged, you can mount it anywhere, even where there’s no electricity: shed, pool area, deck. 15′ cord connects the adjustable solar panel to the light, to position the panel in direct sunlight. Plus, this solar security light has an adjustable light sensor that prevents daylight turn-on. Pivoting motion detector adjusts for sensitivity. The 50-LED Solar Motion Floodlight also features automatic/off switch.
You will be able to pick up the 50-LED Solar Motion Floodlight for $50 a pop.

Everyone carries a keychain around, so why not make yours do more than hold your phone number just in case you get lost?

Meant to be an emergency power backup, it works best with any USB-charging device. Retailing for $22 a pop, you can also charge it from a power socket just before you head out on your travels.

Panasonic lights up on Wind power
February 2nd, 2008 by James in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
Tokyo is well known for it’s lights. Blaring ads that rival Time Square and soak up the power grid while doing it. Godzilla stomping on buildings while the Neon lights explode. But over at Panasonic Center, environmentally conscious designers are changing that high powered perception with a design that probably had a kid’s toy as it’s inspiration.
