OhGizmo!: Private: The Kiran By D.light Is The World’s Most Affordable Solar Lamp

  • mcman · 1 month ago
    I have an idea for another solar product. It would seem that solar panels are coming down in price. Maybe it's time to bump that project up in the order. Why am I talking to myself here? What better place?

    Am I going to attempt to comment on every single subject? Of course I am! What better way to win valuable prizes?

    It would be nice if you could buy them at a higher price here, like $15 and every two they sell, they send one over to a selected area. I'm saying 1 to every 2 because I'm sure shipping will need to be handled as well. Like the laptops that they made for developing countries.

    That's a wonderful idea, and it would probably raise their sales quite a bit. I for one am more inclined to buy something if it's going to be helping someone else too.

    I wonder what the cost to produce these lamps is. It seems like this is a pretty low price point for a product with a solar panel included. Does anyone know if its being done this cheaply intentionally as part of a non-profit group's attempts at providing low cost lighting worldwide?

    It looks a lot like a water bottle. I'm glad to see us these kinds of tools becoming available.

    Lifesaver here. Katrina is a great example as to the need for things like this. Def ordering a few. Used to live in Orlando and after 30 years of downed lines and trees and days with no power, this little thing would have saved me tons of cash just on generator gas.
    Now I live in the tornado zone of the Ozarks. Not going without light again.
