About the Project …
• Lighting devices
• Dedicated for people in the developing world
• Meet many criteria :
– Being affordable (not expensive or high return on investment)
– Easy to use and install, strong and durable
– Made from commonly materials

Sunlight strikes the lamp solar cells
Photons alter the
trajectory of the electrons,
and thus release them
N-type silicon has free electrons, the same
released previously. P-Types silicon has free holes.
When N-type and P-Type silicon come into
contact, an electric field forms within the cell
6
During daylight, the solar panels produce
enough power to charge the battery
Circuit using a Photo resistor to
switch on the light automatically
During the night, the electricity stored
make the lamp light on
7
High-voltage electric grid
(harmless for children)
Eliminates mosquitos safely and effectively
in a non-toxic and non-chemical way

10
- Generates 300 to 400
times the electricity of a
classic cell
- Only one cell
- Need a cooling system
(water-cooling system)
11
- 5 Watt DEL lamp = 60 Watt incandescent bulb
- Lifespan : more than 50 000 hours
- CES system could provide 200-300 Watts, it
could supply 40-60 DEL lamps at the same time

•
Provide light to houses which are
windowless
•
Give light to that homes which are
not economically capable to buy
electricity
•
Light up dark areas in your home
during daytime
•
After installation on the roof, the
water will reflect the light in every
direction instead of spotting it only at
one point (diffused light)
14
• Sunlight is refracted by the water
• Water refracts the light from above
to below into the darkness
• The light spreads out around the
room
 Principle of refraction (the light,
when entering into water, changes
direction and spreads light in every
direction).
15
- It diffuses light in every direction (more
powerful than some electric bulbs)
- Lifespan of five years
- Very useful by sunny weather / in sunny
countries
- Very cheap
- Easy to assemble
16
Comparisons
Price – Return on Investisment
- CES system :
- balloon (1 €)
- 1 DEL lamp : 5 €
- Global system (cell, coolling system and structure) : 30 €
- Solar lamp : 15 €
- Bottle bulb : 1 €
17
Comparisons
Efficiency
- Solar lamp : 10 m² = 3-4 meters around
- Bottle bulb : equivalent to a 60W bulb
- CES system : can supply 40 to 60 DEL Lamps at the
same time
18
Comparisons
Ergonomic aspects
- CES system : light and aerodynamic
but big size
- Bottle bulb : quite small but static
- Solar lamp : portable with a handle. Can be a
static and a moving lighting device and can lights
during the night (battery). Kills mosquitoes.
19
Comparisons
Maintenance
- CES system : Change the balloon every year
- Solar lamp : no maintenance, just needs to be
cleaned and to change batteries
- Bottle bulb : Change every 5 years
20
Comparisons
Production
- CES system : can’t be built in emerging country
- Solar lamp : can’t be built in emerging country
- Bottle bulb : Easy to build everywhere with simple
plastic bottle and metal (20 minutes)
