The Peace LightTM is the first patented, solar-powered memorial light. Easy to install and requiring minimal maintenance, it replaces candles and other temporary (and time-consuming) forms of memorials. The icon, which is lighted at night, is manufactured from UV-inhibited acrylic and uses a special type of LED (Light Emitting Diode). The state-of-the-art electronics which control the Peace LightTM are designed to turn the memorial on at dusk and allow it to glow throughout the evening hours. Sensors then switch it off at dawn so that the natural energy of the sun can again be collected during the daytime hours. The solar panel recharges the battery to a full charge (there is reserve battery power available in case of a heavily overcast day). The Peace LightTM is designed and manufactured with pride in the United States of America. (U.S. Patent . 5,255,170)
