D.light began in India with a prototype lamp developed by a team of engineers and designers studying together at Stanford University. The lamps offer up to 90% savings to users (much cheaper than kerosene), better light for studying and health benefits from eliminating kerosene fumes. They aim to serve 10mn people worldwide by 2020.
This was one of the ten projects featured in our radical efficiency report. To find out more go to http://www.innovationunit.org/radicalefficiency.
