Revolutionary Emergency Location Marking Solution

Solarpill is a groundbreaking emergency location marking solution inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel. It is designed for individuals and groups engaged in outdoor activities such as camping, climbing, caving, and search and rescue missions. The design features two modes of use, with the primary focus on the Flashing Mode (SOS) for communication and a secondary mode for general lighting purposes. The modules can be strategically placed to visually indicate the user's location, thanks to the grooved needle detail, and can charge themselves using solar energy, ensuring readiness at all times.

The Solarpill modules are equipped with an integrated light sensor, activating the lighting function only in dark environments. Each module can be charged separately using a USB port when fixed on the base, and they operate in 24 to 72-hour cycles. The design incorporates plastic injection molding, liquid silicone rubber injection (LSR) technology, and stainless steel components for durability and functionality.

This innovative design received the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category in 2020, recognizing its outstanding creativity and contribution to improving quality of life. Alican Faydalı, the mastermind behind Solarpill, is a renowned freelance designer based in Cappadocia, Turkey, with a rich background in industrial and product design, including prestigious master degrees from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts in Istanbul and Scuola Politecnica di Design in Milan.
