LED lanterns to light up villages

High-efficiency solar LED Lighting Systems will soon be a reality in rural areas.

The Hyderabad-based R&D firm MIC Electronics Limited’s solar LED lanterns would replace the kerosene and paraffin lanterns in each household, said MV Ramana Rao, managing director of MIC.

The firm’s high light output solar LED lanterns have found a slot in the LaBL program. The campaign —Lighting a Billion Lives (LaBL) — targets all communities across the world that lack access to modern and clean sources of lighting.
