‘StudyLite’, designed to provide efficient backup lighting system for developing countries during power cuts, has contributions from eye experts at Sankara Nethralaya, in Chennai. It has a unique feature of reducing stress on eyes, even if it used in a completely dark background. It is designed in the shape of the ring with 24 LED lights embedded in it. The thoughtful design and the nature of the light emitted by the LEDs result in a uniform luminance, thus reducing the stress on eyes.

It can power the light for more than 6 hours. A solar panel is also available as an optional accessory to charge the battery-pack. The StudyLite is designed to work over a large range of voltages and at low current for safety purposes.
LEDs reduce power consumption by 90%, while the availability of the solar panel make StudyLite the ultimate eco-friendly product.
