An impossible invention!

In 1910 the German Poet Christian Morgenstern wrote a poem about an inventor and his “Tagnachtlampe”, a lamp that turns day into night when you switch it on. 49 years later, Carl Barks had his Gyro Gearloose invent a similar device, the “gloom light”. Both ideas were never realised, not even filed for patent!

Our Day-Night Lamp takes a tiny amount of light during day time (so the day is darkened by a tiny amount), stores it in a battery, and lets it shine through an amber LED at night.

A perfect night light for the bedroom window sill!

Cardboard kit including solar panel with switch, rechargeable battery, and LED.

Construction time: 45 min

Dimensions: 120 x 120 x 85 mm
