Ikea + Solar Power = Super Cool
Last month while browsing the web I landed on a website which spoke about some cool solar powered lights that Ikea was going to introduce into the market. To my surprise, while shopping today at Ikea I spotted the lights! They had the whole collection and the most expensive one (pictured below) was for around KD6 and that was because the set contained five light sticks. That’s pretty cool and cheap!

yeah thats cheap! The tiny lights are LEDs and they all have solar panels built in on top so they charge during the day and light up at night. How much did you want them to cost under a dinar?
