Nokero N200 solar-powered lamp

Most of us stay in places that use electricity, and brownouts (as well as blackouts) are extremely rare. As for those living in developing countries, there are still quarters that rely on kerosene for indoor lighting. Not only is kerosene expensive, it is also extremely easy to start fires – which makes the Nokero N200 a welcome alternative. This solar-powered lamp looks like a standard incandescent light bulb at first glance, and to sweeten the deal, it is touted to be 60% brighter than it’s predecessor. Lasting up to six hours when set at normal mode, it also has a “turbo task” setting that is even brighter, but the downside would be having it last a mere 2.5 hours on a single charge. It will not follow the sun automatically, so it is a good thing that it comes with a simple rotatable design that lets it be aimed in the direction of the sun for charging purposes.
