An origami-inspired lantern, powered by the sun
What if you could light up whatever space you chose, and do a little bit of good at the same time?
Meet the Solarpuff. Inspired by origami, the puff is a solar-powered lantern that collapses down to a paper-thin square. Give it several hours of direct sunlight and the puff’s battery will be charged and ready to light up a 100-square-foot space.
Its pleasant, bright LED light has three intensity levels, and is perfect for just about anywhere: outdoor gardens, pool areas (did we mention it’s water resistant?), camping trips—or whatever else you can imagine. It weighs just a few ounces, making it easy to slip into a bag and take with you.
Clean, inexpensive solar-powered lighting isn't just handy for your patio: it has huge potential in the developing world, where more than a billion people don't have access to electricity. To help, the makers of the Solarpuff will give a donation to their nonprofit partner using some of the proceeds from every purchase. And, right now, it’s selling for only $30.00.
