Is there research or products for solar power to lighting?

We’ve heard CFL or other ways a light bulb can maximize its effeciency with least energy.

We’ve also heard solar panels improving on harnessing sun light.

BUT, are there products that directly harness Solar Power for the sole purpose of using the power for lighting?
(collect light during day, make light during night)

flourescent materials? sounds fun, but how long do they last?

Hybrid Solar Lighting is one technology that is used for direct solar lighting, it does not store the light but uses fiber optics to distribute the natural sunlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQ5MiLqb5VE

    Solar panels convert energy from the sun into energy such as electricity. Electricity powers a lot of different things other than use for lighting. Tioga Energy is company that specializes in solar power energy. They provide customers with a great renewable energy source.
