1. An adjustable solar-charged lamp, comprising:
a housing that includes a first side, an oppositely disposed second side, a first hole disposed on the first side of the housing, and a second hole disposed on the second side of the housing opposite to the first side of the housing such that first and second holes are coaxial and define a pivot axis between the first and second holes; a light emitting device disposed on the first side of the housing; a solar collector disposed on the second side of the housing; and a yoke attached to the housing, including a first arm that has an end with a first pivot that extends into the first hole and pivotally engages the housing, and including a second arm that has an end with a second pivot that extends into the second hole and pivotally engages the housing, wherein the second arm is a mirror-copy of the first arm, wherein the housing is disposed between the first and second arms and rotates about the pivot axis between the first and second arms, wherein the first pivot frictionally engages the housing and the second pivot frictionally engages the housing so the yoke imparts a frictional force on the housing to frictionally engage the housing at different orientations relative to the yoke, wherein the housing rotates about the pivot axis to the different orientations that include the housing in a horizontal position, wherein the housing, the light emitting device, and the solar collector rotate about the pivot axis to the different orientations and the frictional force between the yoke and the housing enables the yoke to frictionally engage the housing and maintain the housing at the different orientations so the solar collector is movable and adjustable for solar charging and so the light emitting device is movable to selectively direct and aim light emitted from the light emitting device. |
