Video Contest - $1000 Prize - Contest ends on 1st March 2008

Our firm, SunNight Solar, is changing the way the World lights the night with our innovative solar powered products - replacing kerosene lanterns in developing countries and providing an economic and environmentally superior option over single use battery powered flashlights for the rest of the planet.
Our program – BoGo – Buy one/Give one has been featured in the New York Times, Newsweek, the Dallas Morning News, Fox News and a number of other media outlets. We have provided lights to thousands of people in the developing world, changing lives through education, improving lives by improving the economic conditions for the bottom of the pyramid consumer (no more costs for nightly kerosene) and by providing an inexpensive and sustainable light source for people who previously waited in darkness for the night to end.

We reduce the amount of carbon expended into the atmosphere – one kerosene lantern emits 100 kilos of carbon annually – reduce the number of batteries in landfills, slow deforestation, reduce the number of injuries from fires, improve security for women and children at night, reduce the amount of people developing cancer by removing the contamination of fumes from fires and kerosene and improve the overall quality of life for everyone on the planet.

We are starting a new program and we need your help to tell our story and spread the news via video presentations. Our new program is called LightsForGood and this is how it works. A non-profit – Boy Scout troop, Church group, sports team, employee association, etc – places one of our banners on their site. When the banner is clicked, the viewer is taken to our web site, with the trailing information, and the consumer or member of the non-profit purchases a light for $20.00 from our on-line store. Automatically, $8 of this purchase price is refunded back to the non-profit group for whatever purposes they deem appropriate. And we use the profits from these sales to support our worldwide distribution system in the developing countries.

We are changing the way the American consumer purchases goods – instead of a big box retailer earning a profit from our product when selling to the consumer; we pass that same profit on to a non-profit. We are also using the power of the internet and social groups to raise awareness of the idiocy of single use flashlights – not only are billions of single use batteries contaminating our ground water here in the US and we are using the earth’s resources (nickel, metal, cadmium) once and then discarding them, the concept of planned obsolesce of a flashlight – design has not changed since 1894 – is just plain dumb and unnecessarily expensive for the American consumer.
