Abstract

The solar-powered, valance-mounted lighting system (10) is attached to an adjustable valance that can tilt. The system provides direct artificial light in an area designed for human use. The system (10) is mounted above a window frame and hidden from view. LEDs (20) are connected to the valance and positioned to produce artificial light in the area designed for human use. To collect solar energy, the system includes a photovoltaic solar panel (26) positioned on or near the window (12). The collected solar energy is converted into electrical energy. A rechargeable power source receives and charges from the electrical energy. After charging, the electrical energy is discharged to power the system (10) independently of any external electrical power source. An LED power module (34) is also electrically connected to the LEDs and provides steady electrical energy to the LEDs (20) to produce light in the area designed for human use.
