IMPROVING LIFE IN RURAL AREAS :
Bring your community together. Solar powered LED lighting enables local people to do activities together after dark, even in areas with no electricity. By harnessing energy from sunlight, a Philips Light Center can illuminate a space the size of a small soccer pitch at night. As a result, rural communities have a night time venue for sport and other important pursuits like healthcare, business, and education. The Philips light center operates on low-maintenance batteries that only need replacing every 4-5 years. Not only do these batteries keep the lighting system working, but they can also be used to power other devices like mobile phones.
