Now there’s no excuse not to bring solar power [5] into your life – in just a few weeks IKEA [6] will be stocking their shelves with a new line of solar-powered [7] summer night lighting! Dubbed SOLIG [8], the collection ranges from the practical to the decorative and features energy-efficient LED bulbs. Best of all, these new lamps are not only fun, funky, and earth-friendly — they’re affordable [9] as well!
All SOLIG lighting will feature solar cells [10] able to transform sunlight into illuminating electricity. Each lighting fixture has been fashioned with LED bulbs [11] that reduce their energy consumption by 70 percent while increasing bulb life at least four times longer than an incandescent bulb. The lamps also emulate popular IKEA designs [8], so there’s no need to fret over clashing décor.
Priced from $9.99 for a solar powered light tube to $39.99 for a solar powered floor lamp, these pieces definitely won’t break the bank, and they’re sure to provide wonderful outdoor ambiance while keeping your electricity meter low.
