About
This is the official account of Isang Litrong Liwanag (A Liter of Light). MyShelter Foundation’s latest venture is a sustainable lighting project which aims to bring the eco-friendly Solar Bottle Bulb to disprivileged communities around the world. Designed and developed by students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the Solar Bottle Bulb is based on the principles of Appropriate Technologies – a concept that provides simple and easily replicable technologies that address basic needs in developing communities. A Liter of Light is a program inspired by many innovations from around the world. Many cultures have used glass bottles to allow lighting through the roof, and Alfredo Moser from Brazil began pioneering methods of experimenting with plastic bottles. There has been modifications to the Philippine model, but what must be emphasized is the amount of people whose lives are being affected by this innovation.

Hallo, can someone please tell me if this really works? I tried all the steps, but the bottle does not light up as shown in the first image - in fact not at all. I used filtered water and two about 10ml of bleach liquid and kept the bottle out in bright sunlight. As it did not light up I kept the bottom half covered in a dark bag and the top in bight sunlight. The result was the same. I would like to share this with a community in the area which can benefit from this. Thanks.

It's nice that you are sharing this info! other people can benefit from this directly by reducing their electric bill but also by reducing the power plant's usage and emissions, which helps the environment
