Nokero’s Inventor Produces a Solar Gentle Bulb for Wellness-Clinics and Universities Lacking Electrical power


Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) March 28, 2012

Nokero International, the leader in solar lighting, announced today the release of a bright and powerful solar light bulb for schools and medical-clinics.

American inventor, Steve Katsaros, designed the N220 to meet the lighting needs of health clinics and schools where 1.3 billion live without electricity.

“Simply stated, we can not let 1-in-5 people receive healthcare (or learn) in the dark–it is not acceptable.” Steve Katsaros

This new bulb is an extremely useful tool for our friends in the non-profit, for-profit and humanitarian relief sectors, Katsaros said. Doctors, medics, teachers and relief workers cant do their work without proper lighting, but in many of the places where they work, electricity isnt available or isnt reliable.

The Nokero N220 is a very bright, all-in-one solar LED light that fits in the palm of your hand. Its rechargeable batteries are powered by the sun with an efficient solar panel. It charges by day, and then produces enough light for a medic to provide care to a patient even in the dark of night, or for multiple students to study beneath its light, or for a vendor to display wares.

A worldwide problem

Approximately twenty percent of the worlds population lives without electricity, and hundreds of millions more live with intermittent electricity. Most use kerosene, candles, or make due with no light at all. The problem has become so pervasive that the United Nations has declared 2012 the Year of Sustainable Energy for All (Nokero is a proud memeber of the UN Foundation’s Sustainable Energy for All SEFA effort).

Nokero’s small-scale lighting and solar phone charging products are an affordable, durable solution to this worldwide problem. The N220 is the latest in a series of products designed by the company, and distributed by its partners around the world. It was designed to solve the worldwide problem of energy poverty.

Nokeros previously released solar products have also proven extremely useful in disaster situations, such as the 2011 earthquake in Turkey, where the bulbs were deployed as part of the ShelterBox relief kit.

Once aid workers arrive at a disaster zone, they must work around the clock to bring relief to a given area. With the Nokero N220, they can now perform complex tasks under the bright light emitted from the N220s powerful light-emitting-diode (LED).

The Nokero N220 is available via its international distribution partners, which include NGOs, non-profits, for-profits, and humanitarian relief groups or at it’s website, Nokero/N200

Samples of the product are available online at http://www.nokero.com for $ 29. These Sample-only prices are above the retail price in off-grid regions.

Light Up Your Life With Energy Saving Light Bulbs

A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), more commonly referred to as an energy saving light bulb (ESB) is a type of fluorescent lamp. The energy saving light bulb has been created to substitute for the standard incandescent lamp that many people still use. They fit into exactly the same standard light fixtures as incandescent light bulbs so you needn’t have to spend on new fittings to accommodate them.

Energy saving bulbs emit the same amount of visible light but use less power to do so, plus they have a longer rated life. While the purchase price is typically a more than that of an equivalent incandescent lamp, the extended lifetime and lower energy use will more than compensate for the higher initial cost. For example making the change in your home can save approximately twenty pounds in electricity costs over the course of a year. The average rated life of a these bulbs is up to 15 times more than that of an incandescent bulbs with a rated lifespan of between 6,000 and 15,000 hours, whereas incandescent lamps are usually expected to have a lifespan of 750 hours or 1,000 hours.

For a given light output, energy saving bulbs use 20-33 percent of the power of equivalent incandescent lamps. Around 10% of UK household carbon emissions come from light bulbs so the environmental benefit of these bulbs could be enormously significant.

Energy saving bulbs are produced for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) input. DC energy saving bulbs are often used in recreational vehicles as well as in households. Interestingly, they can also be operated using solar powered street lights, using solar panels located on the top or sides of a pole and luminaries that are specially wired to use the lamps. This makes them an even more eco-friendly feature.

Although incandescent bulbs reach full brightness a fraction of a second after being switched on energy saving bulbs manufactured after 2009 also turn on within a second, but they do still take time to warm up to full brightness. Some energy saving bulbs are marketed as “instant on” and have no noticeable warm-up time scale, but others can take up to 60 seconds to reach full brightness or longer in very low temperatures.

It is important that we all play a part in trying to reduce our own carbon emissions. Every little bit we do, even if it’s as simple as changing a light bulb contributes towards slowing down global warming and protecting our future.
