 Create LIGHT


You can’t get an electric shock from it, and it doesn't cost a cent

In many areas of the world, conveniences common to the Western world are still foreign.

1 billion people currently experience energy poverty and have no means of illumination during the day or after dark.

Thanks to Brazilian mechanic, Alfredo Moser, however, this can be changed.

This innovative mechanic has been using plastic water bottles filled with water and a splash of bleach to light up dark rooms since 2002, and now the idea has spread across the world. It is predicted that by the end of the year, over a million homes will be fitted with the invention and be lit up – without any electricity!

But please note, this method only works when there is sunlight. Unfortunately it will not work during the nighttime. 

This method works using refraction of the sunlight. Two capfuls of Bleach or Chlorine added to water in normal plastic bottles, which are commonly thrown away.  The Bleach or Chlorine stops the solution from turning green with algae when exposed to sunlight.

From this simple combination, millions of homes can become illuminated. Depending on the strength of sunlight, the light filling a room is equivalent of between 40 and 60 watts.

Thus far over 140,000 homes in the Philippines have been fitted with water bottle lights. This is exceptional considering that a quarter of the population in this region lives in poverty. 15 other countries live in similar conditions, including Argentine, India, and Fiji.
