They have designed the solar  light which is named LuminAID which looks the same as a small plastic bag with a white dotty design. But LuminAID light pillow is really an inflatable plastic-pillow with a slim solar panel and 2 very small batteries.The device inflates and then the light works the pattern diffuses the light – it  can work for up to 4  hours with the lighting at 35Lu, or  to 6 hours at 20 Lu.The 4  hour setting is designed for reading at  night. The 6 hour can be used as  low night light.The  Solar Light Pillow device needs 4-6 hoors of sunlight to re0charge and the batteries can be charged approx 800 times. The inventors say the lamp is a good alternative to dangerous kerosene lamps.As a test, Solar Light Pillow are being distributed to  light villages in parts of India where 1 in 2 home do not have  electricity. The Solar Light Pillow  will be used in village schools and  homes.
