One of the most frustrating things about a lot of solar powered gadgets is the fact that it's so hard to get them into the sun often enough, and for long enough periods of time, to be sure they're always fully charged when you need them to be. This solar Venetian blind concept, called "Blight" by Vincent Gerkens, solves not only that problem but it also helps save energy. It works by saving up solar energy during the day and then replacing a lamp or two during the night when it uses that energy to light up.

Not the most attractive light fixture (a little 'rave party' or something), but definitely a cool idea.
