Day and Night Lighting

<h1>Sharp’s illuminating solar skylight</h1><p class="byline">Posted Aug 3, 2004, 2:03 PM ET by Gareth Edwards</p><p>Sharp’s Lumiwall is one of those products that mildly screws up one’s attempts to write a headline about it, because it does three things at once: it’s a transparent solar panel that also includes a high-brightness LCD light. The idea is, obviously, to stick one (or as many as you can bear, structurally and financially) into your roof for use as a skylight during the day, then switch it on to light your home at night. The Lumiwall (OK, you don’t have to put it in the ceiling) goes on sale in Japan on November 1 and is “open priced”, which in this context means “however far you open your wallet you don’t have enough cash to buy one”.</p> 10 application/xml false Sharp's skylight solar panel Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Hotbar 4.3.5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 RPackard 64.65.162.93 false true false false true 82439 blog blogsite/SkySpec/web
