This portable solar lamp is an extremely modular device, not to mention eco friendly. Currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo, SULI is a lighting system that is designed to easily fit onto an unlimited amount of 3D printed accessories.
The SULI is charged by exposure to the sun; eight hours results in a full recharge. The portable solar lamp can cast light up to five meters away and will last for more than two days. The self-contained disc can fit onto everyday objects as well, including PET bottles, bicycle handlebars and windows. With a goal of democratizing solar power use, the SULI team have also launched a platform where users can create other cheap 3D printed products to share with others.
