Hot New Thing: The Corona Solar Light
25 May '07 from the editors
How cool are these lights?
Not to jump on the bandwagon or anything, but these Corona solar-powered LED outdoor lights have been popping up everywhere since they won the Editor's Choice Award for Best New Designer at this year's ICCF (International Contemporary Furniture Fair) last week.
First we saw them at EcoGeek, then NextLust and then a few days later at Inhabitat.
And we agree with everyone: These outdoor solar-powered lights are the perfect meeting of design and function. They're incredibly versatile (can be hung, staked in the ground, set on the table, etc.) and beautifully designed to resemble sunflowers so that the advanced solar technology blends seamlessly with the outdoor environs. They're as easy on the eyes as they are on the environment—a winning combination, we think.
What's your verdict? Beautiful? Slightly alien-ish? Or both?

Love the lights!
I must say, one of the daunting difficulties with any new technology, such as green design, is combining form with function. In this case, I think these lights are amazing. What if they weren't even solar, I think people would still buy them! Hats off to the Corona team!
