Solar Tuki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Solar Tuki is a portable solar lamp unit with white LED bulbs designed to provide rural Nepal with an alternative to traditional kerosene tukis, their main current source of night-time illumination. One benefit is the elimination of fumes and smoke. Another is the elimination of fuel which has to be purchased on an ongoing basis.

This project was granted a World Bank Development Marketplace Award.
