Nokero N200
“Nokero stands for No Kerosene, and the N200 will strengthen our effort to end the dangerous and polluting practice of burning kerosene for light,” said Nokero founder and social entrepreneur Steve Katsaros, who designed the N100 in January and the N200 in August.
More than one million people die each year in fuel-based lighting fires, and an additional 1.6 million are estimated to die from indoor air pollution.
“In this day and age, there’s no reason that should happen,” Katsaros said. “We have the technology and know-how to solve this problem.”
The Nokero N200 is already being used in Pakistan, where flood victims say it makes their refugee camps safer at night.
The bulb will soon arrive in Iraq, where it will help people in the war-torn country avoid the high cost of running diesel generators for light at night. The bulb is also being used in an orphanage in Kenya, where children can study by its bright light at night, and no longer have to fear burn injuries, or a sudden outbreak of fire as they sleep.
Product Description
The Nokero N200 is just as tough as the N100, but it is 60% brighter and lasts three times as long.
It is a small, lightweight and durable lighting solution that will allow users to enjoy a good level of lighting for very long periods of time, while in the same time keeping the environment clean. The Nokero N200 has three modes: On, Off, and Turbo-Task. The bulb can last six or more hours on one day's charge, or 2.5 hours per night or more in Turbo-Task mode.
What makes this light bulb special is that it also sports a rain-proof body.
