The Satellite Solar Lantern design concept, from American designer Andrew Galvin, is inspired by the solar arrays used on satellites to collect energy from the sun. Solar panels on satellites continually re-align to achieve unobstructed energy collection from the sun. The Satellite Solar Lantern uses the same basic design principle. Each wing on the lantern can be turned 360 degrees for optimal alignment or the wings can be divided in half re-aligned by individual quarters.
The lantern body is made from brushed stainless steel and coated with nickel boron to make the body more durable. The base is weighted to ensure that the lantern will not be easily knocked over. The rechargeable battery is located in the top center of the main body, inside a retractable housing that locks in place using a turn lock device. The on/off switch is located on the base with three charge indicator lights.
