The FORA Solar Combo from Benson Lee and Roy Chen is an eco-friendly device that lets you get more out of your music player for less. The FORA is a combination music player and LED lamp that runs solely off of solar power.
The FORA Solar Combo has a minimalist design whose loudest features is its solar panel. The FORA Solar Combo is cordless and comes in three pieces: a battery, solar panel and the music player/desk lamp. The mission behind the project was to design an energy-saving device that was also highly functional. I could really see a device like this taking off as people seem to be more open nowadays about energy-saving gadgets. Oh, and who wouldn't love a lamp that also plays music? No one, that's who.
