Something that truly lends you an eye and lights your path as you go are these solar wall lights, as philosophical as the introduction may sound, the utility is as practical as it can get. Stuck on the wall along the staircase or on the fence, these not only add a touch of aesthetics they also prevent you from tripping over in the dark. Operating on solar power, once fully charged, the white energy-saving LEDs come on automatically at dusk to provide up to six hours of light. The quality integral solar panel and replaceable rechargeable Ni-MH batteries ensure years of service and are very easy to install. So light up the darkness with the power of sun, intended literally.

America’s most enduring symbol of freedom can now move from Ellis Island to your lawns and walkways. It’s a monument/treasure that all Americans are proud off and would like to possess in some form or the other. This Statue of liberty solar light (standing four feet tall) is an ultimate replacement for your traditional outdoor lights (that is just a metal post with a light on top). It holds a solar-powered torch that casts light on lawns and walkways and you won’t have to bury an electrical wire to power it. The lady Statue of Liberty will now also symbolize the power of alternative energy in saving our planet from global warming hence can dub it as ‘Statue of Green Earth’.

Sometimes technology and progress only make things more and more complicated than they originally were. With growing population and a constant need for space, we have created man made structures that demand more energy to run them due to their limited design. Most modern structures are too closed to natural light and run on mostly artificial lighting even during the day. While the sun is still shining bright and clear outside, we are forced to use up energy as we have no way of using the natural light.

SunTrackerOne is still to be patented and has shown some splendid results through testing. For example, a new Wal-Mart store in Aurora, Colorado, with 28 day lighting units could save $23,184 yearly, compared with using fluorescent lamps of the same output. Apart from this, the company claims that it improves productivity also. It is sure to become a major hit with time and might just be the technology to watch out for.
