French designer Mauricio Claverno has come up with a great conceptual design for streetlights. These autonomous, solar-powered lights can be located in areas with no access to the power grid, utilize energy efficient LED’s and can be fitted with motion detectors that will allow them to go to full power when pedestrians and traffic pass, and be at a power-saving one-third power when idle to save energy and decrease light pollution.

Nice idea. Mauricio needs to update his website.
