  • Patent number: 8066399
    Abstract: A solar energy street lamp structure with an adjustable angle is provided. The solar energy street lamp structure includes a lamp holder, a lighting unit, a photovoltaic panel, an electric power storage portion, and an actuation portion. A frame and a holder of the lamp holder are movably coupled by pivot units. The electric power storage portion is placed inside the lamp holder. An actuation unit of the actuation portion is connected between the frame and the holder for adjusting an angle between the frame and the holder such that the lighting unit and the photovoltaic panel, both disposed on the holder, are adjustable synchronously. The photovoltaic panel and the lighting unit are rotatable according to an incident angle of sunlight by adjusting the holder. Thus, the solar energy street lamp structure generates power at enhanced efficiency and can emit light in various directions so as to have wide applicability.

  • Patent number: 7993046
    Abstract: A flexible light-emitting apparatus including a side light-emitting flexible light guide rod, two light emitting diodes, and two lenses is provided. The side light-emitting flexible light guide rod has a first end, a second end opposite to the first end, and a light-emitting surface connecting the first and the second ends. The LEDs are respectively disposed beside the first end and the second end and adapted for emitting light beams toward the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod, respectively. One of the lenses is located between the first end and the LED disposed beside the first end, and the other lens is located between the second end and the LED disposed beside the second end. Each of the light beams enters the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod through the corresponding lens and is transmitted to the outside of the side light-emitting flexible light guide rod through the light-emitting surface.

  • Patent number: 7980725
    Abstract: A solar energy street lamp structure with an air passageway is provided. The solar energy street lamp structure includes a lamp support, a photovoltaic panel, a lighting unit, and a power module. The photovoltaic panel and the lighting unit are coupled with the street lamp, respectively. The power module stores power generated by the photovoltaic panel and provides the stored power to the lighting unit. Moreover, the air passageway is formed between a first body and a second body of the lamp support to enable air circulation. Thus, heat generated by the photovoltaic panel and the lighting unit in operation can be dissipated by air circulating through the air passageway. The solar energy street lamp structure with the air passageway is capable of effective heat dissipation and therefore has an extended service life.
