Flip the vertical blinds so that the side with the lights is now facing toward the window. Doing this may look strange however from the outside. Perhaps no lamp design is necessary and they should just evenly distribute the lights over the entire surface of the blinds.]]>Nov 21st 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/

I just hope their is a switch to turn them on and off.

Could you imagine waking up at night and walking into your living room to this? ]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/Nov 21st 2008 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/
I capitalized the H in "thanks" as well... hopefully that won't throw off the delicate balance of the universe.]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/

I can see this in hotels and kid's rooms.]]>Nov 21st 2008 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/Nov 21st 2008 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/
Good idea and concept. Would save a lot on the ever increasing electricity charges.

Or perhaps I should just bite the bullet and have some solar panels fitted to my roof and an artesian well in the garden, only problem is how to pay for it:)

Maybe I've just never seen them in the houses/flats/hotels i've seen. Cool idea though, didn't see anything on their site regarding turning it on and off but I may have missed that one.]]>Nov 21st 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/Nov 21st 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/11/21/solar-vertical-lamp-one-more-reason-to-close-the-blinds/

If i send in a crayon drawing of my idea for a nuclear powered cell phone that is water proof and unbreakable and weighs 2 ounces while being 2mm thin, will engadget publish that as a "story" too?
