“We used to be in darkness, now “This is the first time in the
we are in light!” lives of my children that they
have been able to read at night!”
Nepal August 2000
Sri Lanka 2001

8. Data shows that the torch systems
using incandescent lamps cause
significantly more environmental
damage than do those using solid
state lighting.
This is mainly due to the larger
number of batteries required if using
incandescent lamps and is
approximately twice as bad if using
carbon zinc batteries compared to
using alkaline batteries.
