Light
Lighting is easy to take for granted, especially here in the US where reliable electricity is readily accessible for the vast majority of Americans. Across the developing world, an estimated 2 billion people are struggling to light their houses, hospitals, and schools.
“I find it hard sometimes to explain the scope of the problems in villages with no light,” Mark Bent founder of SunNight Solar said. “If you’re an environmentalist you think about it in terms of discarded batteries and coal and wood burning and kerosene smoke; if you’re a feminist you think of it in terms of security for women and preventing sexual abuse and violence; if you’re an educator you think about it in terms of helping children and adults study at night.” - NY Times May 20, 2007
SN-2 Solar-powered Flashlight
The SunNight series 2 (SN-2) flashlights is SunNight Solar’s second incarnation of their long-lasting, reliable, and durable solar-powered flashlight (the SN-1). The SN-2 illuminates a room for 7 hours on one charge, and lasts for 750-1000 nights before needing a battery replacement.
“We make the best flashlights in the world. They work better and cost less than anything else available anywhere – this is our promise to you.” SunNight Solar
Lighting can take up as much as 30% of a family’s disposable income in the developing world.
One BoGo light uses 3 NiMH AA batteries lasting 5000 hours
One conventional flashlight uses 3 C batteries lasting 15 hours
@ $7.00 a pack, a conventional flashlight consumes 999 batteries before one BoGo light needs a new set of rechargeables.
This would cost $2,331.00, which the BoGo light saves. If all 200 lights were used for the course of one set of batteries the savings amount to: $466,200, and 199,800 disposable C batteries! Flutter Tunnel creates huge savings for the environment and for the people the lights will serve!
