How does the LED product far outshine current sources of lighting in rural areas?
Existing lighting in rural areas is either grid powered, if available, or kerosene, with a government subsidy. The first method is unreliable and suffers breakdowns, failing most often in the rainy season when needed most, as well as being expensive to install and maintain. Kerosene lighting is not just polluting; it produces low quality illumination and may cause health problems. Kerosene is often difficult to procure.
