Why we need Safe and Reliable Lamps
There is a rush to install the solar lamps and this is done by the users and the conditions at the site are challenging in most of the cases. The surface where these are mounted can be flammable !!! Example Coconut /Banana leaf roofs……….
Solar Lamps and Risk of Fire !!!
The products must be to an International Standard and safe to use as the site conditions vary from one country to another.

IEC 62257-9-5 …..Lighting Africa Initiative.

Bank initiative to promote the Access to Energy in Africa.• Only products complying to IEC Standards were allowed to
be on the approved list of products for sell in African countries.
