NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INVENTIONS.... So the saying goes....

BBC News - Alfredo Moser: Bottle light inventor proud to be poor

P.S.
Former Pinoy actor and model turned social entrepreneur, Iliac Diaz, is behind the business (A Liter of Light) that supply and install such lights in Philippines - talk about a fruitful partnership with English billionaire, David de Rothschild hehe....

Liter Of Light

Liter of Light » David de Rothschild together with Illac Diaz, founder of My Shelter Foundation, promoted the use of plastic bottles cum solar light bulbs

Good news to para sa mga bosero.
Pwede naman window na glass tapos meron lang grills. Yung sa amin pag itinaas yung blinds sobrang liwanag.

Just improve the battery para solar power will be more efficient and cost-effective.

Yung tipong for the same size, almost twice the energy can be stored and the battery could last twice as long din. So in effect parang 50% disocunt sa current rates.

Plus improve ba LED's na lights and inverter appliances.

Its a stop-gap measure. It wasn't really intended to replace the light bulb, but just an alternative means of lighting places without the need to use electricity.

Some people will appreciate the technology behind the invention, and some will only see the negative. Madaling bumili ng bulb or mag-install ng skylight kung meron kang pambili. Its a better alternative than seeing people stealing electricity from the grid through illegal connections.
