Idea Details
WEDGE - Solar powered Led-light
Description
This idea is about...
Comments
cool idea. I like the transference of technology and visual separation of concepts by having the charger outside and the light inside... fun... I think that the light at night that close to the window would make them all look like mirrors from the inside and very easy to see in from the outside... May have to play with the angles to get it right for privacy.

I also wonder what happens if I remove the light from inside... does the solar array fall off the window and break? How do you keep this from happening?

If it is held together via magnetic, it would not be a good idea during hurricane season to leave these out.

...yes and they put wooden boards on the windows when hurricane comes. That\'s all I can say to this comment.

Yes of course I have thought that falling too! but magnets for concept is just million times sexier than using plungers, you know! with plungers it\'s done, but this competition is in 2 steps ; ). BTW thanks for the reflection thing, but like you mentioned it\'s all about aiming the light...

They had years ago magnetic window washers and squeegees... they were a great idea but people had a habit of lifting the inner one on each stroke... I can\'t tell you how many fell from 20 stories up... I wonder if that may be the same problem with your design... If I want to move the light, instinctively I would pull it away from the glass as to not scratch it and that would break the magnetic bond sending the solar part tumbling to the ground... not so bad if it falls a few feet onto the grass. Not so good if it drops 40 stories to the pavement.
