  • Publication number: 20200124240
    Abstract: Lighting devices are described and may include a housing that includes one or more end walls and one or more side walls, the housing defining a chamber and a base. The lighting devices may include one or more of a solar panel, a rechargeable battery, a microprocessor, a wireless interface, and/or a plurality of lights, in communication with one another. The plurality of lights may be configured to emit light transverse to the one or more side walls, the lighting device also including a diffuser configured to diffuse and redirect light emitted by the plurality of lights into the chamber. The microprocessor may be configured to control at least one operating mode of the plurality of lights.

  • Publication number: 20200119582
    Abstract: Induction charging devices equipped with solar panels are described. The charging device may comprise a housing containing at least one induction coil, a circuit board, and at least one solar panel operably coupled to the induction coil and the circuit board. The induction coil may be proximate a first surface of the housing to thereby define an induction area of the first surface. The solar panel may be coupled to or integrated into a second surface the housing such that the solar panel faces outward from the housing, e.g., for exposure to the sun or a source of artificial light. The first surface and the second surface may face in the same direction or opposite directions.
