New solar-powered mini lamp produces 2 types of light for 4 hours

<a href="http://www.olafureliasson.net/">Olafur Eliasson</a> is renowned for creating solar-powered lamps that help people living without reliable energy, and now he's got a new mini lamp lighting the way. With Little Sun Diamond, the designer builds on his previous <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/olafur-eliasson/">solar lamps</a> with a more sophisticated diamond-esque variety that can produce two types of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/solar-powered-light/">solar powered light</a> for up to four hours - after just five hours of charging.

Shooting for a more mature look, the artist has given the Little Sun Diamond version a more sophisticated form with a sleek metal frame.

Unveiled at the recent Design Indaba event in Cape Town, the artist's follow-up lamp is a more sophisticated, minimalist form, distinguishing it from the original Little Sun, which had a thick yellow frame.

The original Little Sun lamp was a flower-shaped lamp.
