The real value of the FLS must be judged not just on the price, or the fact that the “Freedom Light (FL)” is probably the brightest and most flexible lamp in the world today (i.e. amongst its peer group), but also because the system provides more than 26 hours of light from a single FL (at its maximum output), and that the Sealed Lead Acid Battery (SLAB) will continue to function for many years because of the low Depth of Discharge (DoD) that we have designed into it, thus making life so much easier for the client. The 10W solar panel was deliberately chosen because of the rapidly increasing use of Cell phones throughout the Developing World (DW), and to give the client the confidence that they can have many hours of lighting, plus a cell phone charge, every single day if required.
