The concept of lighting an environment is often an overlooked virtue to nearly every design. This provides for a formula for placing lighting based on many details upon the lighting structure such as height, distance apart, angles, ect. This actually sparked some interest into providing for a sustainable lighting source. So, I did some research on solar lighting and found some interesting models of solar panel street lights that I could possibly use in my design!
