The Nokero is a robust, water-resistant light that has the shape and size of a regular standard light bulb. The bulb has 4 solar panels that allow the rechargeable NiMH battery to efficiently store electricity from the sunlight. The light source is provided by 5 LED bulbs that produce a bright steady illumination. When the battery is fully charged the light can provide 4 hours of lighting, a single day's charge should provide around 2 hours of lighting.  Though the battery only has a lifespan of around 2 years the light bulb has been made to allow you to easily replace the battery, extending the life of the bulb significantly.

The Nokero has been created to provide an effective replacement for lighting sources such as kerosene lamps that are used by 1.6 billion people worldwide. Kerosene lamps are both costly and dangerous to those who use them, they can cost around 5% of a family's income and are known to cause cancers due to the noxious fumes they produce. By using solar panels the Nokero light bulb will provide decent lighting in an eco-friendly way. The company producing them has priced an individual bulb at $15, however they hope to provide them in bulk to areas in developing nations or to areas that have experienced a catastrophe and are in need of lighting, they hope to reduce the cost down to $6 per bulb by providing them in bulk amounts.
