Some FAQ’s from the website:<\/h2>\n
\nA: Nokero’s four solar panels charge a 1000 milliamp NiMH battery housed inside the bulb. The bulb then delivers power to five LED bulbs mounted inside the globe. The bulb does not slowly become dimmer – when the battery runs out, the bulb shuts off automatically. It can then be recharged in sunlight and used again in any dark setting.<\/p>\n
\nA: Nokero is durable, rainproof, and built of impact-resistant plastic. It can withstand the snow, but it will last longer if not exposed to daily freezing\/thawing.<\/p>\n
\nA: It is 70 mm (2.76 in) in diameter and 125mm (4.92 in) high, or about the size of a standard lightbulb.<\/p>\n
\nA: About 6 ounces.<\/p>\n
\nA: Nokero is the world’s most affordable alternative to kerosene lanterns, and pays for itself within weeks or months if replacing a kerosene lantern. A single sample is $15 + shipping and handling. Bulk purchases of 1,000 or more receive significant discount (dealer\/distributor applications available at www.nokero.com\/dealers<\/a>)<\/p>\n
\nA: Nokero has a replaceable battery, which means it can last many years if it’s well taken care of. Its LEDs can last for more than a decade, its solar panels for more than two years, and its battery for two years. The battery is easily replaced for a very small fee (about $1 US).<\/p>\n
