Solar lighting

AltusLumen is an electronics company specializing in pocket-size high-brightness LED lights made from recycled, recyclable materials. They aim for 100% sustainability in their product design. Compact, lightweight, rugged, very bright, and having a wide-angle beam, their lights possess many qualities needed for our reading relief project in refugee camps and villages in eastern Chad. Using their existing product line as a base, we are working closely with AltusLumen to develop a light and solar recharging system customized for the project. By donating their time and resources to develop this new product, AltusLumen is a major sponsor of our lighting needs.

If you are considering buying a portable LED light, we encourage you to check AltusLumen.com for lights with a unique compact form factor and very high brightness. In the course of researching equipment for our project, we have tested many portable LED lights and can say that AltusLumen's have many unusual characteristics that we think merit their consideration for most consumers. Plus, we have had an exceptional experience with the people behind these products.

If you are a business interested in custom-designed LED lighting or related electronics, we highly recommend that you contact AltusLumen. They have far exceeded our expectations for development partners, demonstrating very strong technical skills and the ability and willingness to work hand-in-hand throughout the development process to ensure that our requirements are met in the final design.
