Innovative Lighting Devices

The Context: The $230-billion Global Lighting Energy Bill:

"Although one in three people obtain light with kerosene and other fuels, representing about 20% of global lighting costs, they receive 0.2% of the resulting lighting energy services.

One-page summary

"On a percentage-of-income basis, households in developing countries spend hundreds of times more for lighting services than their counterparts in the North."(from linked full report)

"It’s amazing what a ray of sunshine can do to brighten a busy person’s day. And it’s even more amazing that a Washington, D.C:-based law firm would spearhead a groundbreaking effort to bring a little sunlight – or sometimes the semblance of it - to its employees. But the partners of Morgan Lewis ... saw a wide range of benefits in doing so. As a result of their pioneering spirit, an astonishing five-ton sculptural solar light-pipe - the largest solar light fixture on earth – enriches their 14-story downtown office building in diverse and intriguing ways...."
