Patent attributes
A lighting block using solar cells. A case covers an outer surface of the lighting block and includes a light transmission section, light being emitted and received through the light transmission section. A light emitting assembly is mounted within the case next to an inner surface of the light transmission. The light emitting assembly allows the transmission of sunlight therethrough. A solar cell assembly is mounted within the case next to the light emitting assembly. The solar cell assembly receives sunlight passing through the light transmission section and the light emitting assembly, and generates electric power. A capacitor is installed within the case and stores the electric power generated by the solar cell assembly. A controller installed within the case controls the supply of the stored electric power to the light emitting assembly.
