Developed specifically by PiSAT for use in Africa, the K-Light is a reliable, rechargeable solar lantern designed to stand up to the harshest environments. Approximately the size and weight of a can of soda, the unique combination of its solar-charging battery and bright, energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) makes the K-Light unlike any other product available today.
The K-Light is also capable of charging mobile phones.
