Introduction:-

The Battery, LED, and hardware are put in a plastic lodging. The appearance of the light is like a table light wherein the light base is associated with the LED by means of adaptable gooseneck. The sun based light uses 1 Watt LED as the light source and houses 3.2 Volt, 2000 mAh battery-powered Lithium Ferrous Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery to store the force. A 2.5 Watt Solar Panel charges the light during daytime. The light is intended to give 5-6 hours of study light each day consistently.
