The Squid Hunting CarouSol was designed to be a self-activating, solar-powered sculpture. Unlike other solar-powered devices, the SolarEngineTM technology allows us to extract useful energy from light levels otherwise unusable by solar cells.
In direct sunlight, activation happens in seconds. Indoors, in a location like an interior office with fluorescent fixtures, you can expect motion every 6 minutes. As long as there is sufficient light to read by, this device still works, activating only when it has stored enough power to create useable motion.
