본 고안은 쏠라와 CCFL를 이용한 자동충전식 옥외등에 관한 것으로, 쏠라를 이용한 자체충전형 옥외등을 구성함에 있어서, 쏠라와 축전지를 사용하여 외부 전원없이 자체적인 충전과 발광이 가능케하여 설치가 용이한 옥외등을 제공하고자 한것이다. 이와같은 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 축전지의 저전력에서 고휘도의 발광빛을 내는 발광원을 필요로 하는데, LED가 가진 직진발광성 때문에 적절하지 않은 휘도의 분포와 범위 또는 극단적인 대비에 의해 시각의 불쾌감 또는 중요한 대상물을 지각하는 능력의 저하 현상이 발생하여, 옥외등 자체는 물론 주변 전체를 고르게 밝히기 힘든 단점이 있다. 이에 LED의 단점을 보완하여 옥외등 자체와 주변을 고르게 밝힐수 있고, 저전력에서도 충분한 휘도를 낼 수 있으며, 자연광과 같은 색조를 발하는 높은 연색성의 냉음극형광램프(이하 CCFL)을 이용하여 본 고안을 완성하고자 한다. 따라서, 낮시간 동안 쏠라를 이용하여 축전지에 전기에너지를 충전하였다가, 빛이 없는 야간에 CCFL 옥외등을 점등시켜, 공원, 정원, 계단, 옥외 공간, 도로변 및 조경공간이 넓은 곳을 조명함에 있어서, 그동안 사용하던 저전력 고휘도의 발광체인 LED가 가진 불안요소를 보완한 CCFL로 대체하여 실외에 사용하는 조명장치를 구성하는 것을 특징으로 하는 쏠라 CCFL 옥외등에 관한 것이다.
