GravityLight is an innovative off-grid light designed to eliminate dangerous and polluting kerosene lamps, used by over 1.3 billion people who don't have access to electricity. After encouraging global field trials, a new model of GravityLight is exclusively available through it's Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, where the team is raising funds to establish an assembly line in Kenya.

GravityLight is unique – it has created a new category of lighting. It doesn't have any batteries nor need the sun - all you need is a weight. This means it's a very promising solution for emergency relief and disaster preparedness, as it can be stored for long periods of time and can be used anytime, in any weather conditions.
