About two billion people in remote areas of developing nations have no electric lighting, a commodity industrialized nations take for granted. Poor lighting in homes hinders children`s learning, affects family-health and limits opportunities for a better life. Electrical engineer Dave Irvine-Halliday realized that a single one-watt white-light emitting diode supplies enough light for a child to read by. A simple but revolutionary technology, supplied to homes by his Light-Up-The-World Foundation, can light an entire rural village with less energy than that used by a single, conventional, 100-Watt light bulb. This technology ought to be considered by Pakistan, OIC countries and those in the South.
