Right To Light

Our Mission

To form strategic alliances and partnerships with civil society organisations, donors, government and the private sector in order to achieve our mission of alleviating energy poverty, fostering development and preserving the environment by supplying cost-effective, renewable and sustainable sources of energy and power.

To provide alternative, renewable and efficient energy solutions to clinics, dispensaries, diagnostic centres, medical aid organisations, women’s groups, organisations catering to education and other social development initiatives especially for the girl-child, the resource-challenged, rural, slum and peri-urban dwelling populations, grass-root entrepreneurs and to use business principles to create, organize and manage our ventures for the realisation of our social objectives.

To collaborate with the government, city councils and corporations with CSR initiatives for the purpose of sponsoring street lights relying on the latest solar power technology incorporating induction solar lighting.

Eco Lantern

The Eco Lantern is a compact, rugged and dependable lantern ideal for most portable illumination requirements. It has no bulbs to burn out, nor disposable batteries to replace, and you can power it yourself when needed.  60-seconds of winding can give you several hours of night-light.

{tab=Description:}
This is a portable, hand-held LED lantern. It is primarily human powered, but has an input socket to receive DC power from other sources. It provides 3 intensities of space lighting and a focused task light. The Freeplay can be placed on an even surface or can be suspended by its foldable hanging ring.
{tab=Application:}
Human energy is converted via a hand-wound input system, transmission, alternator and power conditioning electronics into electrical energy, which is stored it in an internal in-built NiMH battery pack. This stored energy produces light via a number of super white LEDs, in selectable permutations and intensities.

{tab=Performance:}

One Minute crank @ 120 rpm:
5% space lighting (night light)----3 hours shine-time
task light    -----------------------------1 hour shine
50% space lighting------------------42 minutes shine
100% space lighting    ------------12 minutes shine


Fully Charged:
5% space lighting (night light)------85 hours
task light    -------------------------------23 hours
50% space lighting---------------------16 hours
100% space lighting    -----------------6 hours

{tab=Benefits:}

1.A sustainable solution that’s built to last for indoor and outdoor use.  The power mechanism is tested to 500 000 input cycles, and the LEDs are rated up to 100 000 hours (that's 11 years of continuous use, 24 hours a day).

2.The ML-1 Mini Lantern offers a real alternative to grid electricity or fossil fuels, so you can feel cleaner about your nature experience.

3.The Freeplay self-charge mechanism converts over 74% of your kinetic energy into stored electricity – 30-40 minutes at 130rpm of winding will fully charge the lantern.  Another alternative; fully charge it through the grid (DC outlet) in 7 hours.

4.The task light is ideal for reading at night, and also serves as an effective flashlight for walking outdoors as it focuses downwards to illuminate the ground or specific area.  Its design allows for easy suspension and the surround light is ideal for lighting any place inside the home (kitchen, study room, dining room, stairway, etc) or even in a tent or kiosk.

5.Lasts virtually forever.
