Solar lamps are becoming more and more popular nowadays, because it is not just a good and efficient alternative for the usual electric lamps – it is also a cool way to brighten up a room with less carbon foot print.

This Solar powered lamp featured over at City Lab can illuminate a room all day and night long by reflecting the Sun’s energy.

Now you can replace all those feeble space lamps with a single, solar-powered mirror. “Lucy,” developed by Italian design team Solenica, is a robotic mirror that detects and reflects sunlight across an entire room. With photo sensors tracking the sun’s position, Lucy gradually rotates throughout the day to maintain a room’s natural lighting. All you have to do is point the “nose” of the orb at the ceiling of the space you wish to illuminate and Lucy takes care of the rest, dispersing sunlight all day long—no batteries, plugs, or electricity required.”
