• Solar powered bench stores energy to light up pathway at night

    Designer Ji Sung Park has thought of a unique park bench that has solar panels which collect sunlight to illuminate the bench at night. The design is extremely stylish looking and perfect for a garden since it’s in the shape of a flower with petals. The petals open up to become benches for people to sit on. During dusk, the petals flod up and the bud illuminates light to light up the pathway. On a sunny day, that big solar panel could collect more energy than needed to power an LED night light. It is a very good looking concept but I seriously doubt the practicality of it.
