Stefan Wallmann’s concept design ‘Night Ease’ solar night light is designed to be placed upside-down in a specially configured stand during the day to expose tiny solar panels to the sun. The solar voltaic cells on the night light’s underside allow it to gather energy which it stores in a built-in battery.
The Hungarian designer has equipped the bobble-shaped solar night light with an easy-to-use tilt switch that makes the battery-powered lamp glow through the night.
