BOGO – Solar flashlight!
JJR has a post on the BOGO light, a solar flashlight.
A light, simple and well designed flashlight great for rural areas where there isn’t much electricity, plus everyone needs to have a flashlight in case of an emergency.
BoGo means Buy one, Give one. We want our lights to benefit the less fortunate; therefore, with each light purchased in the developed world, a second identical light will be donated to an organization that will distribute it in the developing world with our direct financial support
You can read about the success stories which just warm your heart…
The BOGO light is also available at Whole Foods markets around the US, which is where i first saw it, it costs $19.99.

I know! JKE. I am not one to encourage patent infringement, but its very tempting to take it apart and reverse engineer it ‘the juakali way’ I receive mine tomorrow, will do a quick test of it!
