Abstract
A solar-powered lantern uses light-emitting diodes to simulate an old-fashioned Edison-type bulb. The lantern comprises a housing having an upper edge defining an upper surface, a lower edge defining a lower surface, and a sidewall between the upper and lower edges. The lower edge of the housing transitions into a shade portion that extends downwardly from the housing. In the preferred embodiment the housing is cylindrical, and the shade is a conical shade having an upper edge coinciding with the lower edge of the housing. A light bulb also extends downwardly from the lower surface of the housing, and the light bulb is surrounded by a cage. A solar panel is disposed on the upper surface of the housing. A rechargeable battery is disposed in the housing, and the rechargeable battery is recharged with electrical energy generated by the solar panel.
