This “little sun”, which is powered by solar cells, was developed by the artist Olafur Eliasson and the engineer Frederik Ottesen. Their goal was, and is, to create a clean, affordable, reliable, and portable light source for the over one billion people in the world who do not have consistently available electricity. As a result, Little Sun is being sold in ever more African countries – and this at a lower price than in Central Europe. The higher margin in the latter makes possible the lower price in the former which then underpins the establishment of a business network that reaches into out-of-the-way places. In the meantime, Little Sun is also creating local jobs and allowing profits to be made.

On the one hand, Little Sun is a functioning LED light source that is powered by extremely efficient solar cells in conjunction with AAA rechargeable batteries; on the other hand it is a device whose every detail has been carefully designed and whose uses covers a broad spectrum. It is suitable for use both indoors and outdoors because it is weatherproof (although not waterproof – so don´t take in the bathtub with you!). The batteries will charge even when the sky is cloudy; it will of course just take a somewhat longer time. Five hours of charging time in the sun produces 10 hours of soft light (level 1) or 4 hours of bright light (level 2).
 
Also note: During charging, it is best to turn the light off if possible. More information about the project and videos about the lamp can be found at littlesun.com and at vimeo.com/littlesun.
