That's the cow! Free design of 3D print LED lamp

3D print information network news, do you know that every 7 people on the earth has a lack of ready-made electricity? In order to get lighting, they usually use kerosene lamp or candle, after all, it is not as safe as electricity, and many times will cause danger.

The invention of the Ximena Munoz team from Santiago, Chile - SULI, a solar, multi-purpose lamp, aims to provide a safe, affordable and flexible lighting scheme to help people living in third world countries or people like other places. Munoz has launched a Indiegogo campaign to seek $20 thousand in fund-raising to start mass production of this lighting module.

The magic of SULI is that it can use an absolute number of times, a large part of which is attributed to 3D printing. SULI can not only turn it into a lamp on any bottle in the life, but the design is completely open source, which helps users design and print their own modules. Want SULI to hang on the window and use it as a backpack light? Or is it on your bike handlebar? All of these can be achieved.

The company has designed and printed several parts of the lamp, but it is also willing that people in the open source community can share the excitement of designing and printing new modules to achieve more unimaginable applications.

SULI is very efficient, using three battery power of 25 lumens, high brightness LED can last 50 hours. The general charging time is between 6-12 hours, depending on the amount of sunlight available. This means that it can be recharged every day and then used for lighting in the evening.

The team behind SULI is not just trying to make a profit on this invention, they are looking for ways to change people's lives in third world countries, starting in Bhutan and Haiti. In Bhutan, about 3500 people live in no water or lighting environment, including more than 800 students in 5 schools. SULI has worked with the Chilean charity America Solidaria, which will build 4 wells in the city, and SULI will provide lighting for these wells. If their projects are well funded, they will provide at least a solar lighting solution to Bhutan schools. The higher goal is to provide home lighting for every person in the city.

If you want to help them, you can provide only 85 of the Indiegogo activities, you can get your own SULI, and also donate a SULI to Bhutan, Haiti community.
