 There are currently around 1.5 billion people in the world who do not have access to clean energy. Additionally, there are another 1.5 billion individuals who either have intermittent access to electricity or cannot afford to be connected to the grid. This is what is referred to as energy poverty, which describes the situation of people living without access to a reliable and safe source of electricity. Kerosene lamps are the most commonly used solution in these areas, but they are dangerous, toxic, and expensive.

A Solar Powered World

In 2012 we created Luci®, an inflatable solar light, with the goal of making an affordable clean energy product that people could use in any situation — from outdoor camping adventures to backyard parties to everyday living for people in developing countries without electricity.Luci taps into a source of light that’s limitless and readily available to everyone on our planet — the sun. Advancements in renewable tech have given us the means to literally put the power of the sun into a device that fits in the palm of your hand.
