Abstract

Inflatable solar lamp

The utility model relates to an inflatable solar lamp which overcomes the defect that an inflatable solar illuminant in the prior art has an inconvenient shape and is lack of effective light scattering capability. The inflatable solar lamp is equipped with flat end parts and a semi-transparent flexible shell, so that the shell can be inflated to form a free upright cylinder. A solar panel faces outwards on one of the flat end parts and is used for charging a repeatable-charging battery at a low side; the repeatable-charging battery supplies power to an LED (Light-Emitting Diode) array under the control of a printed circuit board; and the LED array is arranged in the lamp shell. Reflecting surfaces which are opposite to each other on the opposite inner side end wall of the lamp scatter light from the LED as much as possible. The lamp is durable and portable, is a long-term lighting means, and is used for people, victims, and the like who living outside a power supply area of power grid.

Abstract

Inflatable solar-powered lamp

A solar-powered lamp is provided with flat ends and a translucent flexible housing, such that the housing can be inflated to form a free-standing cylinder. A solar panel faces outward on one of the flat ends for recharging a low-profile rechargeable battery which, under the control of a printed circuit panel, powers an array of LEDs, which point into the lamp housing. Reflective surfaces, facing each other on opposite inside end walls of the lamp, maximize the diffusion of light from the LEDs. The lamp is a durable, portable, long-light lighting solution for those who live off the electric power grid, are victims of disaster, and the like.
