The Greenman eco lamp has it all – solar powered, LED bulb, bio plastic corn base trimmed with bamboo.  Could it get any simpler?  Turn the Greenman upside down during the day to collect solar energy.  Turn the solar lamp right side up to use the collected solar energy to power the lamp in the evening.  This lamp is not only energy saving but it is also cordless and waterproof.  Use outdoor and indoor.  A great learning tool for children too.  Truly ingenious!  Sadly, it’s only available in the UK for now at Made In Design.  Crossing fingers it will be in North Amerca soon!
