Patent attributes
A solar disk light has a central body and an annular shelf surrounding the central body and attached to the central body by one or more struts, defining a gap between an inner surface of the annular shelf and the central body. LEDs are disposed on the annular shelf. The central body has solar cells for harvesting solar energy and detecting ambient light. The central body contains a rechargeable battery for storing harvested solar energy, a switch, and wiring and driver electronics for operably connecting the solar cells, battery, switch, and LEDs. A translucent shell is on the disk light body, covering the annular shelf and LEDs, such that light emitted by the LEDs shines through the shell. The shell has an opening for receiving the central body such that the solar cells are not covered by the shell, the shell having an inner wall received in the gap.
