That's the way it is! A freely designed 3D printing LED lamp

3D printing information network, do you know that every 7 people on the planet have a lack of ready-made electricity? They usually use kerosene lamps or candles to get lighting. After all, it is not as safe as electricity.

The invention of Ximena Munoz team from Santiago, Chile -- SULI is a solar and multi-purpose lamp designed to provide safe, affordable and flexible lighting solutions to help those living in third world countries or similar places. Munoz has launched a Indiegogo campaign seeking $20 thousand to raise funds to start mass production of this lighting module.

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

The company has already designed and printed several accessories for this kind of lamp, but it is also willing that people in the open source community can share their excitement in designing and printing new modules and achieve more incredible applications.

SULI is highly efficient. It uses three battery power of 25 lumen and high brightness LED for a single charge for 50 hours. The average charging time is between 6-12 hours, depending on the total amount of sunlight available. That means charging every day and then lighting at night.

The team behind SULI does not just want to profit from this invention. They are trying to find ways to change the lives of people in third world countries, starting from Bhutan and Haiti. In Bhutan, about 3500 people live in no water or lighting environment, including more than 800 students from 5 schools. SULI has worked with Chile's charity America Solidaria. The charity will build 4 wells in the city. SULI will provide the lighting of these wells. If their projects are well funded, they will provide solar lighting solutions to Bhutanese schools at least. A higher goal is to provide family lighting for everyone in the city.

If you are willing to help them, you can provide only 85 of your Indiegogo activities, so that you can get your own SULI, and also donate a SULI to Bhutan and Haiti communities.
