Solar Powered Light Bulbs?! This Must Be A Joke…

I can remember a joke growing up about a solar powered light bulb, or maybe it was a solar powered flashlight.  Anyway, funny now that I have a store that sells BOTH of those things.  But its the light bulb that has me really excited.

Did you know that about a billion and half people in the world don’t have electricity?  And most of those people use nasty, smelly, dangerous kerosene to light their homes.  Not only does it pollute and produce massive amounts of carbon, but it also kills its users slowly but surely.

Now, thanks to inventor and fellow Coloradan Steven Katsaros, there is an AWESOME alternative called the Nokero Solar Light Bulb.

So how do you use it?  You set it out in the sunlight (I can even see folks having a clothesline of light bulbs!) and then bring it in at night for about 4 hours of light.  This is a game changer for the developing world.  Folks in the developed world can find all sorts of uses too, from camping and trekking to lighting small out-buildings.  Very cool.
