Abstract:
1. An energy saving apparatus comprising: an electrical light source electrically connected to an inlet configured for receiving alternating current from an external power source, such light source being configured to provide light in a first path, and a second path; at least one photovoltaic cell arranged proximate to said light source such that light in said second path is captured by said at least one photovoltaic cell and is converted into direct current while light in said first path is unobstructed by said at least one photovoltaic cell; an inverter, arranged to convert the direct current into alternating current; a conducting member, reintroducing the alternating current from the inverter to the inlet of the light source to reduce the needed alternating current from the external power source driving the light source; and wherein said light source is a coil configuration and said second path is an area defined internal of the space created by the coil configuration, the space outer limits being the innermost diameter of said coil configuration.
