Imagine you don't need to count extra money as electricity bill for the lights you installed in the lawn in front of the house; or you don't even need to cry out in panic or feel disappointed when electricity trips if you just invest a small amount of money for once. It will bring you smile forever as sunlight will continue till the earth exists. And you don't need to bother for monthly billing for it. Howzzat!
If you have a nice and beautiful lawn with garden in front of your house, you can easily install “Solar Lawn” or “Court Light” that converts sunlight into electricity and stores the energy in the battery for nighttime use. You don't even need to install electric wire. The light's base and pole are made of Aluminum-alloy material or stainless steel, which are much durable and highly intensive. The lampshade is made of good light-reflecting material, which allows the light to pass through.
“We use high degree (conversion efficiency 14%) solar panel as our light which is very efficient and long lasting. We adopt unique super bright and energy saving LED as the lighting source, so we can guarantee our lights are brighter and the lighting time is longer, compared to others,” said Musa Khan Harun, Managing Director of World Business Mart, a private company that imports only non-contamination and pollution free products and exports traditional products like crafts, handmade toys, ornaments etc bearing thousand years Bengali heritage.
The company based in Dhaka was established in 1999 with a view to supporting the “Green Revolution”.
Says Musa: Our main imported products include solar motion garden light, solar flashlight, solar home lighting kit, solar mobile phone charger kit, solar car ventilator, solar street light, various models of electric bikes and so on. We are deliberating good quality products and rendering services.”
Musa said all of their solar lawn/court lights don't need special installation and these are environment friendly and suitable to be set up at the lawn, garden or court.
The solar streetlight, another product of the company, is a green, clean and environment friendly product, which takes free, recycled sunlight as energy source. Thus electricity for streets can be saved in the populous cities where streetlights are taking huge toll on taxpayers' hard-earned income.
“During sunny daytime, energy absorbed from sunlight can be stored in the battery bank and it can work at least 2-3 rainy days,” said Musa adding that the solar streetlight can be installed conveniently and no electric wire is needed for it.
About beautification of the cities, he said if the solar streetlight is installed along the highway, courtyards or traveling sights, the streetlight with its elegant appearance can add significant luster to the city's exterior. “It is also suitable to be installed in the residential areas for illumination purposes. For its top quality and novel designs, it has been widely accepted by developing as well as the developed countries of the world.”
Another important thing, which Musa said has a bright prospect in Bangladeshi market, is “Solar Multi-function Lighting” and “Charging System”. This environment-friendly, multi-functional and portable solar system can light the lamp and charge various electronic devices, such as mobile phones, portable electric appliances, radios, digital music player and other devices directly. This system can be widely and conveniently used for family, factory, military sector, camping, and seashore activities. These can solve the power shortness of some remote, undeveloped countries and can relieve the energy crisis even in some developed countries. Once charged with sunlight for 8--10 hours, it can light for 20--24 hours.
“The price is insignificant in a sense that, if one installs or buys the solar products, s/he would not face any hassle for monthly expenditure. So, it's nothing but one-time investment for lifetime and we give warranty for the products ranging 1 year to 5 years,” said Musa.
The solar motion garden light would cost Tk 9,000-12, 000 while solar flashlight, radio and siren ranges Tk 1,800-3,000, solar flashlight costs Tk 1,200-1,500, solar multi-function lighting and charging system ranges Tk 14,000-15,000, solar fan and fan cap Tk 450-750 and solar street light/courtyard light ranges Tk 15,000-22,000.
Musa said: If this solar system can be used at the open wide places, it would definitely beautify the exterior of Dhaka and other metropolitan cities. And sunlight is not a big problem here in this tropical area of the world where these solar products can sustain to supply uninterrupted power supply for even five days.”
