This innovative light bulb provides low-income Manila households with light — while traditional windows can easily crack or leak during typhoon season or other severe weather, the Solar Bottle Bulb brings even more light in and helps save money and energy. Not only do the bulbs improve the lives of families, but they also improve the future and health of the environment by significantly reducing plastic waste. The light bulbs were introduced to the Philippines by Illac Diaz, who established the MyShelter Foundation to develop a system of sustainability through projects that also create new skills and employment opportunities.

Even leftover parts from electronic waste can be harvested to build solar lights. Trainers Angelito Santos and Joselito Olaivar display the inner workings of the solar bottle bulb. Liter of Light volunteers regularly visit impoverished communities such as Dampalit to train residents to assemble, install and repair the plastic bulbs and solarpowered units.
The project provides a much-needed source of livelihood for the less fortunate. We still have to pay for food. Residents of economically disadvantaged communities are taught how to assemble, install and repair the plastic bulbs and solar-powered units. In order to build a social enterprise, the foundation supplies wholesale materials almost at cost to grassroots entrepreneurs nationwide, establishing a much-needed source of livelihood for the less fortunate. We only need to teach them how to attach the solar panel because they can already see from the pictorial which part goes here and which part goes there.
As a frequent visitor to the fishing community, Santos has witnessed first-hand the massive impact of the Liter of Light. Now, even the children get to go out at night. They were very happy when we first arrived because their neighbourhood got brighter. The knowledge would already be in the community and we would just help consolidate it all. A Liter of Light creates sustainable solutions ahead of the storm, working to address the damage wrought by natural disasters before it occurs.
The project empowers residents of the affected areas with the necessary skills to adapt to dire circumstances, thereby minimising their dependence on humanitarian aid. Active in over 20 countries, A Liter of Light has provided more than , solar bottle bulbs to families all over the world, enriching their lives with a device as effective as its design is simple.
We deal with it a bottle at a time. It does not lighten the room its very dim.. It cannot work at night. It transfers daylight from above the roof to the room below. Its a great idea and am very impressed.
But if it only works at night whats the point? Maybe to light up your basement or a cave. Maybe they used this idea in Egypt? Is there a good way to use these in colder climates? I intend to use them to add some light to an off grid basement, yet the fear of freezing is a concern. Would adding salt negate the reflective properties?
An underground grow room would allow a much earlier start for my tomatoes. Do green bottles Mountain Dew work as well? Distilled water and bleach are used to retard the growth of algae. There is no additional refraction with their use. It does't works at night.
It only tranfer outdoor sun light to inside the room. Just so it is pure and doesn't get cloudy over time. Tap water has lots of crap in it. Just came across this while searching for information on baby bottles. Although this isn't entirely related, but now I can see how this is going to benefit moms especially those still new to parenting and not experienced at all. Post a Comment. Solar Bottle SuperHero.
