This innovative and eco-friendly home accessory called the Bicycle Rider Lamps runs on Solar Power Apart from the lightening part that’s taken care by the solar energy, there’s something more that solar power does to this lamp. As and when the lamp gets exposed to sunlight, the cute little bicycle rider sitting inside starts pedalling making the lamp an object de’ art apart from being a chic utility gadget.
All you need to do to charge is to keep it in the sunlight and the solar panel will automatically turn towards the sun as it’s fitted on a rotatable base. In case it’s a cloudy day, the 40w lamp can work by connecting to a power source.
Must say…it’s a perfect combo of fun, intelligent design and eco-friendly concept!
