Looking to add some solar-powered flare to your boring backyard? This gigantic energy-generating flower sculpture by id&@le concepts may be just the ticket. Dubbed the Gul Two, the brightly-hued blossom is outfitted with an array of six 10 x 5 cm solar panels that soak up sunlight throughout the day and store it in a hidden 4-watt battery. Once night falls, the kinetic sculpture erupts in a brilliant LED display that lights up the night with shades of sapphire, emerald, ruby, violet, indigo, and opal.

This reminds me very much of the street light we designed at Philips 2 years ago. The LightBlossom or Sustainable Streetlight.
And that looked much better

I would like more information on this Solar Powered LED Flower sculpture. Specifically, costs, where can I order it from (contact info would be greatly appreciated), and how it can be attached to a telephone pole.
Thanks, Karla Nicholson
