The Illum-A-Window™ requires no installation, and uses a free, renewable energy source. Exposing the solar panel to the sun during the day renews the battery for use at night. When the sun goes down, Illuma-Window automatically lights up.
West Grove, PA (PRWEB) August 31, 2011
Select Increments, a manufacturer of automotive speaker enclosures, has announced the introduction of its newest product, the Illum-A-Window. As the first solar window light commercially available, the Illum-A-Window promises to be a big hit with homeowners during the 2011 holiday season. It is the perfect, worry-free answer for one of the Christmas season’s most beloved traditions… that warm beacon of light in a window which has welcomed home weary travelers for centuries.
Pennsylvania entrepreneur and green energy advocate, Stuart Allen, came up with the idea several years ago after watching a friend struggle with the endless—and unsightly—extension cords necessary to put electric candles in her windows. When he asked her why she didn’t use cordless candles, she explained she was tired of changing batteries. “The proverbial light bulb went on in my head,” said Allen. “I knew my company could create something that would combine the best features of solar with American ingenuity and manufacturing excellence.”
Allen—who is not new to the invention scene—immediately went into high-gear and began to look into solar options. After 18 months of research and development, he had designed a solar window light that could mimic the popular electric window lights seen at Christmas time, but without the inherent cost of electric energy or the need to be tethered to an electric outlet. Allen sought out the finest components available in all categories—LED bulbs, circuitry, solar panels, and batteries—to provide the best and brightest candle glow possible. The result is the first solar window candle, and just in time for the holidays.
“It is such an amazing little product,” continued Allen. “The Illum-A-Window candle requires no installation, and uses the sun as its free, renewable energy source. Exposing the solar panel to bright sunlight during the day renews the battery for use at night. When the sun goes down, Illum-A-Window automatically lights up.”
Allen has an exceptional ability to concept new products, yet never loses sight of what the consumer really wants. Unlike the harsh blue-tinted light emitted by the vast majority of solar lights, the Illum-A-Window has a warm, inviting glow, similar to true candle light. The operating system is encapsulated into a contemporary, flame-shaped, white plastic shell which can be attached directly to the window pane at the desired height, using a small suction cup.
Another superb example of the excellent design qualities of the Illum-A-Window, is the slim profile which safely permits blinds or drapes to be closed around it without posing any interference. Since LED bulbs don't get hot, there is no risk of fire when curtains touch the candles. Rather than illuminating more area than necessary, the housing forces 90% of the light outside, while allowing only a small fraction to shine through the back of the unit.
“I incorporated every little benefit I could think of,” said Allen. "I was determined that Illum-A-Window solar lights be the best window candle possible.” According to the raves he is receiving from customers, Stuart Allen has not only hit a home run, but the ball has been hit right out of the park.
Retailing at $8.89, Illum-A-Window is now available for purchase on ebay.
