Designer: Ross Lovegrove for Luceplan, 1998
The Luceplan SolarBud accompanies your footsteps in the dark. SolarBud
needs no electric wiring because it is powered by a battery recharged by
sunlight. With exactly the right brightness, it picks out paths, tracks,
swimming pool edges, doorways etc, that would otherwise be hard to
recognize in the dark.
The solar energy, collected by a polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic cell,
powers two rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries. The duration of the
light when fully charged is between 13 and 15 hours. The sun exposure
time necessary to reload the energy expended after 13 hours of lighting is
about 5 hours.
The Solar Bud comes with a transparent diffuser and aluminum finish. It
provides diffused lighting utilizing three LED's with a solar-rechargeable
battery (not included). UL Listed.
Dimensions: 15"h x 6" dia
