IKEA Solar Office Lamps

While some people adamantly attest for their disdain towards IKEA products for whatever reason, I love them. I’m always on a budget and still have IKEA stuff from almost 10 years ago. New to their collection comes the SOLIG Solar Office Lamps.
Provided they are in a well lit area during the day, the lamp stores daylight in its solar cell for use of its LED lighting during the evening hours. Sounds like a steal for only $20 a piece! Available now at the IKEA website or warehouse near you.
