New LED Lighting of World
Bangkok, Thailand Southeast Asia
Andy of HoboTraveler.com

Candles versus batteries? This is the real fight for lighting in homes with no electricity.

This is real; a battery-powered flashlight has a rough time competing with candle.

A candle has a tough time competing with kerosene and a wick.

Batteries are slowly becoming a cost effective feasible way to light houses in the world.



This is the second version of this home made LED light I have seen, I took these photos in Orodara, Burkina Faso and saw them all around the country of Burkina Faso. The first version of this home made house light I saw in Katmandu Nepal.



They used 4 1.5 Volt Batteries and said it would last a month.



The plucked the LED bulb from a Chinese made cigarette lighter and used them to make the light for the house.

This is real, this is not a toy, this is real people using their noggins to create something they will buy. The cost of candle is cheap, works, and is efficient; to surpass a candle is a feat.

BTW,It is an LED, light emitting diode,not an LCD Bulb!You should have done some research before writing the article.

Ahmmm, I think you are a little bit mistaken by the use of letters.LCD means Liquid Crystal Display, while what you were showing is an LED, Light Emitting Diode.Be careful, you were very close to write down LSD...
