Hong Kong - A solar-powered lamp, which is as thin as a magazine cover and sticks onto most surfaces has been developed by a Hong Kong inventor, a media report said.

The lamp has electroluminescent material on one side and solar panels and sensors on the other.

The lamp can be stuck to a window where the solar panels absorb sunlight to charge the lamp which can then be taken down and placed in a room to provide light at night.

The lamp is very thin and light it could reduce complicated manufacturing procedures and save on raw materials.

"I believe not only the product itself has to be ecological, but the manufacturing process should be ecological too, in order to make our environment better," she added.

National Design Policy Improves Competitiveness

Of the four countries, Finland and South Korea stand out by having a complete “design system” in place. As Gisele Raulik-Murphy’s defines it, this means a system that implements four fundamental elements:

design support programmes (targeted at businesses).

design promotion programmes (targeted at the public).

design education programmes (formal education systems, including degrees, masters and post graduate courses, as well as further education that enable students to become good design professionals).

a national design policy (at government level).
