Kiran Solar Lantern provides affordable lighting
by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
There are quite a few solar gadgets out there and unfortunately a lot of them can get a touch pricey. Well for once, this lantern is incredibly cheap. Instead of grabbing the kerosene or battery lantern when you head out into the world, you could grab this eco-friendly solar one. Surprisingly it’s actually said to shine brighter than your old kerosene lantern would. Plus it’ll give off light for several hours when it has a full charge stored up.
The lantern is a total of 5 times brighter than a kerosene lantern and will shine light for up to 8 hours on a fully charged battery. Of course not only can you charge it through the solar panel, but it can be plugged in and charged through the AC charger as well. It provides 360-degree light and has a handle with multiple-settings to allow for flexible usage. It has protection for over-charging and has an all around tough design. In order to get a full charge the lamp needs 8 hours of sun and through the AC it requires 4 hours. On high that’ll give you 4 hours of light and on low it’ll give 8. The lamp itself is retailing for only $10.

October 21st, 2009 at 10:06 pmI wonder if they’ll think to donate some to villages in Africa, South America, Asia – anywhere where people live without electricity, they seem far more eco friendly than kero lamps. Good work!

October 26th, 2009 at 12:42 amThanks for the post–just wanted to clarify that the Kiran is designed specifically for families without access to electricity in India, Africa, and around the world. We hope that it will be the solution that helps eliminate kerosene lanterns as a primary lighting source for over one billion people.
