LabVIEW App of the Month: A Solar-Powered Lantern for Developing Countries
Using the NI Circuit Design Suite, Pan's Innovative Science and Technology (PiSAT), a company dedicated to developing energy-efficient lighting technologies, created a solar-powered rechargeable lantern - the K-Light.
The K-Light is waterproof, easily portable, safe to operate, and can be used as a long-term lighting solution (up to 20 hours of light per charge). These characteristics have made the K-Light a useful tool toward the goal of the Koinonia Foundation of eradicating poverty in developing the world through modernizing education, implementing renewable and clean energy sources including solar projects, and creating strong communities that promote a safe and healthy standard of living.
