But for the 1.6 billion people across the world without electricity there has been little alternative. D.Light has provided that alternative thanks to a cheap, reliable solar lamp. Over 220000 units have already been sold in over thirty countries via a network of rural entrepreneurs. As one of these entrepreneurs says, "this will do to kerosene what mobile phones did to letters".
