Abstract :
Renewable energy is the current energy trend so that a new lamp which uses this energy type was built as an alternative to the traditional kerosene lamp. Most of renewable energy sources produces clean power. Therefore room can be illuminated without polluting the environment. This does not produces hazardous fires & operational cost is minimum. People who live far away from the power delivery system depend on traditional kerosene lamp for light. Simple construction, availability of kerosene fuel enhanced this popularity. Kerosene fuel is burned incompletely to obtain the required illumination in this traditional method. This new lamp is built to store energy in a small battery when power is available. The power source can be small scale solar panel, wind turbine, or hydro power unit. The battery power is used in the night to obtain light. This lamp has a shape similar to traditional kerosene lamp. This lamp is energized with a small solar panel. Investment can be recovered in a short period. Risk of fire can be minimized due to absence of oil. Foreign revenue is saved because there is nothing to burn. This will convey renewable energy concept to the rural people. Life of the worlds´ crude oil wells can be extended with the new lamp. This will enhance the living standards of rural people.
