A brighter, longer lasting solar light bulb.

New light bulb is 60 percent brighter than the N100, lasts 6-plus hours on one-day’s charge

Hong Kong/Denver, (Nov. 16, 2010) — Nokero, the world’s only solar light bulb company, today launched a brand new product to join its ground-breaking N100 bulb.
Dubbed the Nokero N200, the new light bulb is 60 percent brighter than the N100, lasts 6-plus hours on one-day’s charge, and is affordable to billions of people worldwide who live without reliable access to electricity.
“Nokero stands for No Kerosene, and the N200 will strengthen our effort to end the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene for light,” said Nokero founder and social entrepreneur Steve Katsaros, who designed the N100 in January and the N200 in August.
More than one million people die each year in fuel-based lighting fires, and an additional 1.6 million are estimated to die from indoor air pollution.
“In this day and age, there’s no reason that should happen,” Katsaros said. “We have the technology and know-how to solve this problem.”
The Nokero N200 is already being used in Pakistan, where flood victims say it makes their refugee camps safer at night (see www.nokero.com). The bulb will soon arrive in Iraq, where it will help people in the war-torn country avoid the high cost of running diesel generators for light at night. The bulb is also being used in an orphanage in Kenya, where children can study by its bright light at night, and no longer have to fear burn injuries, or a sudden outbreak of fire as they sleep.
