Solar Powered Flag Pole Lights allow you to show your flag to its best, lighting up the American flag to help show your patriotism even during the night. The lights can be used to light any flag you wish to have seen at night without causing any concerns regarding wiring or high maintenance costs.

The Liberty Light is a solar powered flag pole light designed to be suitable for those who wish to light up a flag on their property. The light has been created for use on flag poles that are 20-25 feet (6.1 – 7.6 m) high and have a diameter of  2-3 inches (5.1 – 7.6 cm). The light is supplied with the adjustable bracket required for securing it to a flag pole, it also includes a smaller bracket to allow you to secure the light onto a smaller pole, down to 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. The light is also supplied with mounting clamps to enable you to secure the light into the ground, or onto a flat surface like a deck, front porch, or patio. The Liberty Light uses 2 LEDs to provide its illumination. These provide a bright, strong white light which is the equivalent of a 60 watt bulb without requiring high quantities of electricity.

The Commercial Grade Flag Pole Light is similar to the Liberty light but uses 2 extra high output LEDs to produce a brighter light, to the equivalent brightness of a 100 watt bulb. This light is designed for larger flags and flag poles and includes the brackets to allow it to be placed onto a pole that is between 2 – 4 inches (5.1 – 10.2 cm) in diameter. The light as its name suggests is designed more for commercial applications where it is highly desired for a flag or similar object to be clearly visible at night.

Both of these Solar Flag Lights can be adjusted to light your flag or any item you wish to have illuminated quickly and easily. The Liberty Light has 3 directions it can be adjusted in, forwards and backward, up and down, and left to right, the Commercial Grade Light can also be adjusted though appears to have less movement abilities. This ability to adjust the lights helps ensure that you achieve the perfect lighting for whatever you wish to illuminate. The solar panel attached to the lights can be adjusted to be in a position to take advantage of any available light. Some thought is required to ensure that the solar panel is in a position where it will receive sunlight during the day.

Each light can provide you with between 6 – 10 hours of illumination, dependent on the amount of sunlight the solar panel has had access to that day. The panels are advanced enough to be able to provide electricity for lighting the flag even on cloudy days, though less than they could provide on a bright, sunny day. They each automatically turn on once dusk falls due to inbuilt light sensors, the lights do have an on/off switch to allow you to turn them off if required.

By using solar power these flag lights are able to provide you with hassle free lighting for flags or similar objects. They will require very little maintenance as LED bulbs last significantly longer than traditional bulbs and should provide years of illumination before requiring changing. The solar panel and the light may require a clean at times to remove any dirt that has accumulated. The lights are easy to install will cause no worries or issues regarding wiring and have no long term running costs that causing high electric bills. The Liberty Light can be purchased from $89 and the Commercial Light can be purchased from $155, plus delivery.

The Nighthawk is a wind-up LED torch that provides you with a bright, focused light whenever it is required. Because a dynamo is used to produce the electricity for this torch there are no worries over it running out of power when you need a torch most. The torch can also be used to provide charge for your Nokia mobile phone.

The Nighthawk by Powerplus uses both two traditional LED bulbs (5mm) and a ‘new generation’ 0.5W LED bulb. These give the torch a bright focused beam of light that is highly energy efficient. The torch charges its internal battery from the kinetic energy you provide by winding the handle of the torch. This dynamo power allows the torch to be easily and quickly recharged anywhere, with no concerns over sunlight, keeping the torch charged ready for use, or worries over batteries.

The Nighthawk is supplied with a standard Nokia phone adapter cable. This allows you to charge your Nokia phone (or any device that uses a Nokia charger to gain charge) from the electricity you have generated winding up the torch. From winding the handle of the torch for one minute you provide enough electricity to light the 5mm LEDs for 90 minutes, the 0.5w LED for 20 minutes and provide roughly 2-8 minutes of talk time on your phone, or half an hour of standby time. When the torch battery is fully charged it can provide 12 hours of light from the 5mm LEDs and 4 hours of light from the 0.5w LED.

The Nighthawk measures only 15.5cm x 5cm (6.1 in x 2 in) which allows it to be easily carried with you wherever it is needed. The torch provides you with a powerful light whenever it is required. Its use of LED bulbs and dynamo power allow the torch to provide light or phone charge that requires very little effort or forethought.

The Nighthawk Dynamo LED Torch is yours for just £19.95.

The 12 watt EnduraLED Light Bulb provides you with the lighting power of a 60 watt incandescent bulb. The most commonly used light bulb in homes is the 60w bulb and its energy saving counterparts. Because the EnduraLED light bulb uses LEDs the bulb has many advantages over current energy saving CFL bulbs.

The 12 watt EnduraLED Light Bulb created by Philips offers many advantages over other lighting techniques in use today. In comparison with incandescent bulbs the light runs on significantly less electricity, and the bulb will last 25 times as long. The bulb uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) to light it. This differs with the most commonly used energy saving bulb the CFL (Compact Florescent Light/lamp).

The LED has many advantages over CFL bulbs. The life span of a LED bulb is longer than that of a CFL, as most CFLs last around 8 to 15 times the length of a incandescent bulb. CFLs cause problems when it comes to disposing of them, this is due to them containing mercury (though this is a trace amount). Mercury as it is a toxic metal needs to be treated carefully when it comes to disposing of it, to avoid it contaminating the ecosystem.

This LED bulb offers the same brightness (if not a little brighter) than a CFL bulb while working with approximately the same energy efficiency. The LED bulbs should also turn on straight away without the warm up time that CFLs need. The EnduraLED can also be used with dimmer switches, something most CFLs cannot currently achieve.

The EnduraLED bulb marks a significant change to the way we light our homes. It offers an effective low energy equivalent to CFL lighting while avoiding the negatives of CFLs. The bulbs offer a way forward towards energy efficient lighting that can really be considered to be eco friendly.

The FLEXI is an all in one lighting concept by designers Kyeore Kim, Jaesuk Han, Sungkuk Hong,  and Sena Joo. The idea is to provide many different forms of lighting from one source, to be a lightweight product to take when camping or for general use.

The FLEXI is basically a silicon sheet which features a row of LED lights at one end of it. The sheet of silicon is meant to be rectangular and very thin, to allow it to take up little room while being light weight. By having the LED lights incorporated into the design only along one edge it allows the sheet to be used in many different ways. By positioning the lights at one end of it when rolled up, the FLEXI can be used as a torch, the multiple LEDs giving it a bright beam of directed light. By rolling it with the LEDs along one edge you create a longline light, and by leaving the silicon mat flat you create a useful ambient light source.

Though LEDs do not require much electricity to work, they do require some. Thus far there is no suggestion of where a power source would be placed and incorporated into the design. It would be nice to see maybe a flexible solar panel also built into the light.

This Motion Sensing LED Light can be fine tuned for your requirements. The light can be used both outdoors and indoors and brighten any area in need of extra light or to be used as a warning to any motions around the area.

The Motion Sensing LED Light uses an infrared motion sensor which detects any movement near the device. The light uses LEDs to produce the light, this makes the light more energy efficient as LEDs do not require much electricity to illuminate them. The LEDs can be set to different brightness levels meaning you can have as dull or as bright a light as you wish. The sensitivity of the motion sensor can also be fine tuned to help you reach the sensitivity you require, this helps save on power by preventing unnecessary lightings. The time the light illuminates for can also be changed, it can be active for 20 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds or set to be constantly on if that is required.

With this ability to be fine tuned and because it is suitable for both inside and outside use the light can be used for such things as alerting you of activity outside or can be used to illuminate any garden obstructions when you are out in your garden. It can also be taken with you when you go camping so you know if there are any movements outside. The light can also be used inside to illuminate areas that are not commonly in use but have low light levels, such as larders, by moving near the light it will brighten up any area. The light requires an AAA battery to operate and measures 8.5cm x 8.5cm x 5cm ( 3.3in x 3.3in x 2in).

The VX1932wm-LED is a 19-Inch WLED-Backlit monitor by ViewSonic. This is an energy efficient monitor that uses less electricity than other monitors of a similar size while providing excellent clarity in its display and sound.

The monitor uses WLED (White Light Emitting Diodes) to produce its picture. Using back lighting technology the monitor changes the back lighting levels depending on the signal image that needs to be displayed. It therefore uses less back lighting for darker images, helping to provide clearer, more vivid dark colours and blacks, while using the back lighting to its fullest effect for brighter images to help make the whites seem whiter with more clarity. These LEDs help to reduce the monitors power drain and the monitor and its back light system are mercury free.

The monitor comes with inbuilt stereo speakers and has a contrast ratio of 10,000,000:1. The monitor measures 55cm x 17cm x 51cm (21.5in x 6.5in x 20.2in) and weighs 10.4 pounds. The 19 inch monitor is thought to use only 50% of the electricity of standard monitors, and has a 15w power consumption. This combined with the fact the monitor is mercury free makes it a good choice for those wanting to be eco-friendly and have reduced electricity bills.

The monitor costs only £124.20 plus £3.95 shipping. This monitor is available to buy in North America, however, the monitor is currently on backorder.

The Ecobulb is a energy saving idea by Seokjae Rhee. The concept bulb takes advantage of the eco friendly credentials of LED bulbs. Working with a remote control the bulb uses these LEDs to produce a light source that is directional.

The Ecobulb concept is that when lighting a room a lot of light is often not needed, only sections of a room are usually ever requiring lighting at any time. The bulb uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in a 6 compartmental bulb design. The bulb has 6 distinct and separate areas to it which can be controlled with the Ecobulb’s remote control to turn any of these sections on or control the brightness of a section.

LED bulbs have many advantages over the more commonly used energy saving bulb the CFL ( Compact Florescent Light/lamp). The life span of a LED bulb is longer than that of a CFL. CFLs also cause a problem when it comes to disposing of them due to them containing mercury (though this is a trace amount). The LED bulb does not have any such issues while working with approximately the same energy efficiency. The LED bulbs should also turn on straight away without the warm up time that CFLs need.

The Ecobulbs concept then also contributes to less electricity usage as only sections of the light are used at once. There is no light wastage, no light being used to illuminate areas of a room not in use. This, coupled with the brightness control, means that the one light bulb can then take the place of many different light functions, from a small pool of soft light like that of a lamp to a brightly lit room all at the push of a button. One problem may be finding the button to do this, especially if there is a frequent need to change the sections of light as remote controls do often go missing.
