In June 2009, IKEA started the SUNNAN solar lamp campaign. For every SUNNAN lamp sold in IKEA stores worldwide, UNICEF receives a SUNNAN lamp. These lamps are distributed to enable children in homes without electricity to do their homework, even after dusk. (It also lets them read and play, too!) Our goal is to donate 1 million lamps in the year 2011.
SUNNAN lamps combine low energy LED technology with solar cell panels. Since there’s no need for electricity, you can use it anywhere indoors. Just charge the panel for 9-12 hours in the sun and get three hours of lamplight.
