LED & switch.

Place this Solar Candle in the window during the day, and the solar cell will charge the internal battery. At night you can turn on the switch and the battery will run the LED, providing one candle power of light.


Unlike a wax candle, this solar candle uses a renewable source of energy, has no flame hazard, produces no polution, and is thus environmentally friendly and eco-romantic.

The gooseneck can be bent to point the light where it is needed, for maximum efficiency. The base of this solar candle is a recycled tin can, to promote the idea of recycling and concern for ecology.
