Bringing Affordable Light To The Dark Continent
One of five inventors of the LEDsafari lamp interviewed an African student who was recently trained to build his own LEDsafari. The student is very enthused about the invention because it is going to bring affordable light to his continent, giving Africans more time in the evening to study, to discuss, to work, to create... It will make them more productive and, thereby, richer. A simple, cheap, safe, and environmentally clean lamp, this student hopes, will 'light up the Dark Continent.'
