GLOWSTAR SOLAR LANTERNS
The Glowstar lantern is the
brainchild of a British non-profit consultancy called Intermediate
Technology Consultants (ITC) in partnership with Sollatek,
a UK based company who specialise in solar and electronics
manufacture and distribution throughout the developing world.
After trials in Kenyan homes, the
lamp was launched commercially. The hope is that it will do for
rural African lighting what the clockwork radio has done for its
listening -- provide a cheap, reliable, ecologically friendly product
that does not require mains power, expensive batteries or
kerosene.
GLOWSTAR
is now available in the UK !
