A litre of light
What do you get when you mix sunshine and an old plastic bottle filled with water and chlorine? Thanks to this latest innovation you now get a 55-watt solar light bulb!
It’s powerful enough to light up a home but most importantly it’s environmentally friendly, inexpensive, and easy to make.
Originally designed by a Brazilian mechanic this bottle light is already having a big impact in poorer communities - with charities like Myshelter Foundation now calling for bottle donations to aid the third world.
Take a look at the video below to see the effect this invention is already having, and tell us if you can see this lighting up homes across the world.
