Site O' the Week: Philips SMILE
Kudos to Philips for creating a lighting program named SMILE for those who have no access to electricity, about one quarter of the planet. They have developed a portable solar lantern with flourescent and LED lighting. A day of charging gives 4 hours of light. They have been testing models in India and hope to extend it to Africa with Uday Lamp and with other products such as a hand-cranked flashlight. We are so impressed that we made the site our SOW.
