Our A-Light S was selected as one of the most promising innovations in the category energy out of over 800 submissions from around the globe and is presented in the Solutions Database of the empowering people. Network.

The “empowering people. Award” of Siemens Stiftung aims to identify and foster innovative technology that tries to solve basic supply problems around the globe.

After having several thousands of solar lamps in use successfully around the globe, it was time for a dedicated website. On this occasion, the A-Light S got a new logo as well.

All contents are available in two languages (German/English) and presented in a responsive design. This way, optimal readability is ensured for all devices and visitors worldwide.

The A-Light S in its second generation ist now water-tight according to IP67. This was achieved by integrating seals in the housing and a custom designed switch button.

Additional improvements in the new version:

• Flush-mounted button avoids unintentional operation during transport
• The new hardware goes without tantalum (exploited in crisis regions) which is commonly used in capacitors
• Even more robust against inappropriate power supplies

The wide-spread utilization of renewable energy is one of the most important challenges in our days. Due to this reason, the austrian society Intersol targets to replace scarce fuel by renewable green energy with its project “Complejo Solar Oruro” (CSO) in Bolivia.
