Abstract: There is provided a planter for growing plants. The planter comprises a framework supporting a plurality of shelves (16, 16a, 16b), wherein the framework comprises two upright frame members (2, 4) at a left side of the framework, two upright frame members (6, 8) at a right side of the framework opposite the left side, a first cross member (11) connected to and spanning between the two upright frame members (2, 4) at the left side of the framework, a second cross member (12) connected to and spanning between the two upright frame members (6, 8) at the right side of the framework, and a shelf support member (14) connected to and spanning between the first and second cross members (11, 12). A first end of the shelf support member (14) rests in a cradle of the first cross member (11), and is repeatedly removable and attachable therefrom.

Abstract: There is provided a lighting system, comprising a control unit (10), a solar panel (20) for plugging into the control unit, and at least one light (32) connected to the control unit. The control unit comprises a control circuit (12), a battery bay for receiving at least one battery (16) that supplies battery power to the control circuit, and a socket (14) for receiving a plug (24) of the solar panel for supplying solar power to the control circuit. The control circuit (12) detects whether the solar panel is plugged into the control unit, and in response switches from a battery power mode in which the control circuit powers the at least one light from the battery power, to a solar power mode in which the control circuit powers the at least one light from the solar power, wherein the solar power mode is an energy saving mode which uses less energy in comparison to the battery power mode.

Abstract: There is provided a lighting device comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) that simulate a flame. The device comprises a circuit board having a plurality of through-holes extending between two opposing faces of the circuit board, and wherein at least some of the LEDs are mounted inside the through-holes so they are visible from both faces of the circuit board.
