SunNight Solar
www.sunnightsolar.com
SunNight Solar is a Houston-based company that has designed solar flashlights with the developing world in mind. Lighting is one of the easiest things in the world to take for granted when you live in the developed parts of our planet and there is no interruption of the power flow from your electrical grid. However, most parts of Africa, much of Latin America, and large sections of Southeast Asia are forced to rely on kerosene, candles and conventional flashlights when the sun sets—in fact, there are two billion people who still rely on these outdated and expensive options for illumination. SunNight Solar’s series of flashlights are changing the way light is provided, and through our distribution of these lights, together we are brightening people’s lives in incredible ways.
