Functionality and use of design
Six hours of sun give three days of light. You turn the light on and point it in the direction where you need it. The unit can be folded and turned around on its big wheels (maybe the floor is earth). You can hide it so nobody steels it or put it on the roof of a car.
How did this design improve life?
The design improves life for people all over the world, where there is no electricity. If you during an operation can't see the wound properly the patient may die. In all kinds of catastrophes people needs light to help others.
Drawbacks of life improvement
The battery is poluting.
