This product concept incorporates solar voltaics to power a self-sufficient bedside night lamp. By installing this product in their personal space, it will evoke the notion that most modern artifacts (specifically electronics) require an external and often obscured source energy to work or operate. The purpose of this product is to instill and teach sustainable ethics to children, while also providing a visually intriguing lighting fixture.
