Background and Identification<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

Solar lamps are a type of lighting fixture used to illuminate areas so occupants can continue their daily lives into the night, burning the midnight oil hours past dusk. Solar lamps exist in numerous forms that employ both artistic and engineering creativity, but all solar lamps are made to hold a lightbulb in a useful position within an area. Solar lamps are similar to table lamps, ceiling lights, flashlights, and other\u00a0lighting fixtures.<\/p>\n\n

Solar lamps generate light through electricity from rechargeable batteries, producing heat as a byproduct. The solar panels attached to the lamp recharge these batteries, allowing the lamp to be used when it is needed.<\/p>\n\n
