Catch a couple rays and brighten up your day with the home-lighting 'Lucy' sun mirror by Solencia.

This clever little device actually tracks the movement of the sun and reflects natural sunlight into your home. Set up the mirror and you will be able to reflect sunlight gradually throughout the day and illuminate your personal space by up to 7,000 lumens. It's also solar-powered, which means once this clever piece of technology is set up, you can just sit back and soak it all in.

As an added benefit, Solencia also claims that by using its Lucy sun mirror, you will actually be able to reduce your personal carbon footprint by up to one ton per year in energy consumption. Just like that you'll be able to easily catch a tan, illuminate your life and even do some good for the earth all at the same time.
