Design by Ross Lovegrove, 1998. The little light 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. After sunset, they can yield the energy accumulated from the sun to spontaneously turn on the high efficiency leds. 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. Natural anodized aluminum stem. Transparent methacrylate head, resistant to UV rays.

He then continued on to receive his masters of design from the Royal College of Art in London in 1983. In the early 1980's he worked as a designer for Frog Design in West Germany on numerous design collaborations such as walkmans for Sony and computers for Apple. He later moved to Paris as a consultant to Knoll International. He later returned to London and founded Studio X in the Notting Hill area of London. Lovegrove has worked for a variety of clients such as Issey Miyake, Herman Miller and Airbus and in 2005 he was awarded the World Technology Award for design. His personal artwork has been exhibited at MoMA in New York, the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Design Museum in London. LuceplanLuceplan was founded in 1978 by Italian architects Riccardo Sarfatti, Sandra Severi, and Paolo Rizzatto to custom design lighting fixtures for the commercial and industrial sectors in Europe. But with designs that also appealed to the residential market, Luceplan has created products with this market in mind since 1981. Merging new design and technological solutions with enduring style, quality, function, and efficiency, Luceplan products are extremely popular in Europe and have been available in the U.S. since 1978. Customer ReviewsExcellent light for our modern rural setting. These good looking Solar Buds give us just enough light to guide you in the dark and look great during the day in our modern landscape. We required a subtle path light since we are in a rural setting where a little light goes a long way. The Solar Buds charged up fully in two days of sunlight and are still working after days of cloudy weather. We look forward to moving them around for special outdoor parties in the summer. Yes, they are expensive (thus 4 stars not 5) but good design is important to us. By: Island D., Designer (Lopez Island, WA USA) Good product at unreasonable price The Solarbud is one of the few, if any outdoor solar lights that has a somewhat attractive appearance. This, however, comes at a steep price. Given the dropping prices of the underlying technology of solar lighting, this seems a bit unreasonable. One would also wish for a slightly more sophisticated idea securing the Solarbud to the ground (to prevent theft in public areas) than a mere 1/4 inch hole in the stem.
