Solar Lighting for the poor

by Michael Addinall
(South Africa)

Two years ago i saw the need for a solar house lighting solution after witnessing two small black children in South Africa doing home work by the light of two candles whilst their Mother was cooking on a paraffin stove using a paraffin lamp for illumination.

I was so upset that I returned home and informed my wife of what I had witnessed and told her that I was going to design a solution -- little did I know of what effort it was going to take

Today I am happy to say that it is complete a small solar panel that powers four ceiling-mounted lights with a study lamp and mobile phone charger. It is a complete plug and play DIY system capable of lighting a small house of 55 square meters.

We have so much yet there are millions of people that do not have the benifit of lighting in their everyday lives

I hope that this product will be able to be used by many millions of those less fortunate.
