Lighting up the world

LED lights help in areas without electricity

Dr Irvine-Halliday is a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Calgary in Canada. Dr Irvine-Halliday went on a walking trip to Nepal in 1997 and he saw that people in the villages used lanterns to light their homes. The lanterns were smelly and dangerous and the light wasn't very bright. Dr Irvine-Halliday wanted to help solve the problem. So, he started the Light Up The World Foundation. It is a charity that gives LED lights to thousands of people around the world.

About 1.6 billion people worldwide don't have electricity. They use oil in their lamps. But it is an expensive fuel. It is also inefficient and causes indoor and outdoor air pollution.

LED lights are an ideal solution to the problem. They only need a little power and this means that people can use them in areas where there is no electricity. They can run on AA batteries, or solar power. LEDs can give up to 100 times more light than lanterns, and they last a long time. When people began to

use LED lights, it changed their lives. They increased productivity and it gave them more time to study. It also reduced health problems and accidental fires.

Now, it is important to make LEDs less expensive. For example, families in rural Kenya spend about $7 a month оn oil for lighting. A solar-powered LED lamp lasts longer, but many people cannot afford the $25 to $50 that the lamps cost to buy. When charities and other organisations find a solution to the price problem, the future could be bright.
