The Solar Revolution is here! The world's only solar powered lightbulb!
Remeber when that was a joke? Not anymore, this light bulb might just change the world. Perfect for lighting applications in the developing world, camping, backyards, out-buildings, and a million other uses. We are so proud to carry this unique and revolutionary product. Just set it out in the sun in the day time and turn it on at night, it will last about 4 hours in most applications. Check out these frequently asked questions:
Q: How bright are Nokero lights?
A: Nokero lights are not as bright as a typical incandescent bulb, and they are about a 5-watt equivalent. The N200 is about 13.5 lumens on high and about 8 lumens on low, and the N100 is about 8 lumens. Both the Nokero N100 and N200 are bright enough to read by, cook by, study or perform household tasks. Most importantly it's light is brighter and steadier than a typical kerosene lantern or a candle. It takes the human eye 20-30 minutes to fully adjust to dim light so give your eyes time to adjust.
Q: What’s the best way to charge Nokero bulbs?
A: Be sure to hang the bulb in full, direct sunlight all day. Make sure the solar panels are getting the most sun possible. Tilt the N200 toward the sun. For both bulbs, keep them out of any shadows that may pass over the bulb during the day. Don’t charge it from behind a window. Also remember - the bulbs works better on sunny days than cloudy days, but they can still charge on cloudy days.
Q: Who is Nokero meant for?
A: Nokero is primarily meant to provide a safe, clean alternative to the fuel lanterns currently used by the 1.3 billion people worldwide who lack reliable access to electricity, but it can also be used as a camping light, a marine light, or for many other purposes.
Q: Besides replacing kerosene lanterns, what else is Nokero used for?
A: Nokero has multiple applications. It can provide emergency light during or after natural disasters, it can be an outdoor recreation and camping lantern, or it can be used in and around outdoor patios and marine craft.
Q: How long does the Nokero N100’s light last?
A: On a full charge (multiple days charging), the Nokero N100 lasts about four hours. The power of sunlight varies according to location, but a day of charging in full sun offers about two hours of light, or more if charged by strong equatorial sunlight. Nokero’s duration of use each night is dependent on charging conditions.
Q: How does the Nokero N100 work?
A: The Nokero N100's four solar panels charge an 800 milliamp NiMH battery housed inside the bulb. The bulb then delivers power to five LED bulbs mounted inside the globe. The bulb does not slowly become dimmer - when the battery runs out, the bulb shuts off automatically. It can then be recharged in sunlight and used again in any dark setting.
Q: Can it withstand harsh weather?
A: Nokero is durable, rainproof, and built of impact-resistant plastic. It can withstand the snow, but it will last longer if not exposed to daily freezing/thawing. The bulb is not waterproof.
Q: What size is the Nokero N100?
A: It is 70 mm (2.76 in) in diameter and 125mm (4.92 in) high, or about the size of a standard lightbulb.
Q: How much does each bulb weigh?
A: Bulbs weigh about 6 ounces.
Q: What is the lifespan of the bulb?
A: A Nokero light can last 5-10 years if well-cared for. Nokero is built of replaceable parts, which means it can last many years if it's well taken care of. Its LEDs can last for more than a decade, its solar panels for ten years or more, and its battery for about 500 cycles or about 1.5 years. The battery is easily replaced for a very small fee (about $1-2 US depending on market forces).
