Abstract
An apparatus includes a solar-powered lighting system supported by a wedge-shaped housing. The housing has a back, an upper side and a lower side. The back is adapted to be mounted against a supporting surface such as a wall or the like. The upper side is adapted to support a solar panel. The lower side is adapted allow light to be projected through it.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- a solar panel adapted to generate electrical power from solar radiation;
- a light source adapted to produce light from the electrical power generated by the solar panel;
- and
- a wedge-shaped housing adapted to be mounted on a substantially vertical surface, wherein the lighting system is supported by the housing, the housing comprising:
- a substantially flat back adapted to be positioned against the surface;
- a substantially flat upper surface angled relative to the back, on which upper surface the solar panel is supported;
- and
- a curved lower surface adapted to allow the light to be projected substantially downwardly there through.
5 more elements
An apparatus comprising a solar-powered lighting system supported by a housing shaped substantially like a cylindrical wedge, wherein:
- a back of the housing corresponds to a base of the cylindrical wedge;
- an upper side of the housing corresponds to a tongue of the cylindrical wedge;
- and
- a lower side of the housing corresponds to a generalized cylinder of the cylindrical wedge.
1 more element
A method of providing illumination, comprising:
- providing a housing shaped substantially like a cylindrical wedge;
- supporting on an upper side of the housing a substantially flat solar panel adapted to produce electrical power from solar radiation, the upper side corresponding to a tongue of the cylindrical wedge;
- supporting within the housing a light source adapted to produce light from the electrical power, a lower side of the housing being adapted to allow the light to be projected there through, the lower side corresponding to a generalized cylinder of the cylindrical wedge.
