Abstract: The invention of the "light votive perennial" addresses the serious and long-standing problems of the cemeteries in the municipalities and provinces of the country and Europe from north to south, including the islands. 
     With the innovative votive lamp in eternal light without battery replacement will be carried out the slaughter of all the cost of establishment, connection and maintenance for the illumination of spaces cemetery with zero environmental impact, but first of all it will be assured their loved ones a constant light, 24-24h, without the risk of "cemeteries in the dark" for an unlimited time and in any event not less than fifteen years. 
     The votive lamp made of a single monolithic block resistant to all weather conditions is fed in an innovative way, instead of the more common mode current, such as the repeated application of the replacement of the batteries (highly polluting products) capable of producing new electricity or appeal to the public network (also polluting the subsoil) of the cemetery complex, permanently abolishing the repeated replacement of the batteries over time that in the present case do not stop and do not change their constant supply of energy to the LED, for an unlimited time or but not less than fifteen years. 
     The device invented "votive light perennial" lies in the use of a LED lamp, a rechargeable electrical batteries and a tensile allocated inside the cylindrical monoblock in polyester resin, all assembled in one body unmodifiable outside, perfectly waterproof that resists for its compactness to any atmospheric agents, maintaining the energy charge of the rechargeable battery for an unlimited time, without any need for maintenance (except for manufacturing defects that necessarily requires the total replacement of the building) resisting perfectly natural sources of heat which the solar rays and all temperature changes related to weather conditions and all of the external cemeterial agents environment particularly corrosive which do not alter the original conditions of the product, which maintains constant its energy capacity, for an unlimited time, without the need for maintenance , to replace the batteries in support of the energy photovoltaic panel, and a solar panel outside the central body monolithic, overcoming insecurity and the decay of all existing products on the market that illegally distributed on the European market because pollutants and destitute of the EEC certification, have nothing to do with the invention in question. 
     The source of accumulation of energy by the internal batteries to monoblock cylindrical resides exclusively in the capacity of the photovoltaic panel that provides the same amount of energy calculated previously for a time of at least eight consecutive days, in the total absence of light. 
     The invention is unique in its kind, it doesn't need a battery change and it is certainly not just a process of innovation in technology but also, and above all, an innovative process in the context of environmental protection in a social context, the cemetery where the repeated replacement of exhausted batteries, considered the products currently in the market, could further aggravate environmental degradation in a country where the collection is still struggling to absorb two-thirds of toxic waste, especially in the southern provinces, and especially in cemeteries. 
     It is to add that the device invented is the only safe alternative to electrical systems currently present in cemeteries that are a major factor of pollution of the subsoil is not to be underestimated and a waste of electricity prohibitive as well as a safe alternative to photovoltaic centralized equally prohibitive for the coffers of municipalities, now completely dry and, moreover, equally polluting the underground cemetery sites. 
     The light votive perennial, is composed of a single monolithick body as t is indicated in the table produced and relied 1a which comprises inside: 
1) Isolation Chamber: characterized by a one-piece monolithic cylindrical with a diameter of 3.00 cm and a height of cm. 7.00 polyester resin, catalyzed at the time of installation by a peroxide-based catalyst resistant to weathering, high reactivity, rapid hardening (1-6%), good chemical resistance and high durability. High inertia and homogeneity of the artifact. 
     This "piece" monolithic is designed to protect the components referred to in paragraphs 2, 3.5. 
2)  Number two rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride  (NL-MH), allocated within the isolation chamber (in resin polyester) referred to in point 1) with a nominal voltage of 1.2 V and with each possible amperage: 750, 800, 900 or 1000 mA which, hermetically protected inside the isolation chamber (monobloc) from degradation caused by atmospheric agents and wear, do not allow the heavy metals with which the same are Build it dispersion in the air of harmful dust or the escape of liquids harmful to human health and environmental pollution 
3)  280  Ω  resistor inside  the piece polyester referred to in point 1) for the limitation of the power supply to the LED 
4)  A photovoltaic cell external to the block  referred to in point 1), characterized by a mini photovoltaic solar panel capable of delivering 6V and 45mA. The panel made of monocrystalline silicon is characterized by the size 40mm x 70mm x 28mm and coated with transparent plastic material for protection from atmospheric agents. 
5) no.  1 LED  light, weather-resistant exterior, yellow, red or flashing red with a diameter of 5 mm. 
6)  Cables strips  for connection of the parts.
