There are many solar lamps on the market but IKEAS's Sunnan version is most likely the only one that is sustainable in two ways. For every lamp sold, another is donated to UNICEF to give to children who are in remote villages and refugee camps, places where electricity often isn't available, making the lamp not only good for you, but good for the world. The work lamp is sold at stores for $19.99 and comes in five bright colors. It runs on solar cells that convert sunlight into the power needed for the lamp and never needs to be plugged in. The lamps need about 9 hours of sunlight to fully charge, which provide the lamps with enough energy to run for 4 hours.
Thanks, Inhabitots.
