Kiran – Affordable $10 Solar-Powered Lamp
I do like it when an innovative company comes with a cheap and useful gadget, such as the solar-powered lamp called the Kiran. The design was created by a company called d.light to create an affordable and safer alternative to the kerosene lamp.
The lamp has been designed to charge up within 8 hours during the day via the integrated solar panel. A full charge of the battery gives 8 hours of light on low brightness, and 4 hours of light on high brightness. If you do have access to a mains socket, the lamp can be charged up in just 4 hours using a standard Nokia mains charger. With the new universal mobile phone chargers coming out soon, I’m sure it could be easily modified to use the generic mini USB socket.
The lamp has been designed to be tough yet very useful, and can be used in a whole range of locations. The various aspects of the design allow it to be hung up or free-standing, giving out 360 degrees of light.

It’s a shame because many of these products will never make to the United States, and if they do, will they even make it to Hawaii where I live?
By then will they be affordable?
Its a puzzle to me how many companies can ship a product across America with free shipping but cannot offer prority or parcel post to Hawaii.
Back on track, I could not find this product on sale anywhere on the internet.
Just from the article it looks and sounds like a great product and I want at least one.
