Philippines: Plastic Bottles go Solar | Global 3000
In the Philippines' urban slums, families are unable to afford electricity and often have no access to the grid anyway. But Filipino actor Illac Diaz is looking to change that. With his organization My Shelter Foundation, he's come up with an innovative idea: turning empty plastic bottles into lamps.

Pretty rare for such a simple idea to be so incredibly effective. Nice work!
Brilliance at its best. God, please bless this man for being a smart and kind hearted person. Now every one around the world who shares the same struggles can benefit.

Suggestion: don't get stuck in dumb sniping at people who think outside the box. Illac Diaz has devised a wonderful eco friendly solution to the problem of lack of electricity in many regions. He has improved the lives of hundreds of thousands in the developing world. Kids can read and do homework, mothers can cook and do chores, people are safer in their homes, there are far less accidental fires. Hey, sounds good to me. You naysayers - y'all got a better idea?

solving problems themselves with materials at hand = independence and growth and evolution of new ideas...this is how it should be... people solving problems at the micro-level can become a macro-level solution free of giant corporate influence...This is like 150 years ago here, when people were inventing things because they needed to...this is good... this is organic
In my opinion, it doesn't matter who discovered or invented it. What matters most, it is shared to our less fortunate "kababayan" that might help them a little bit on their daily lives on such living condition. I hope our government can do more to improve their situation not only with them in the slums but to all Filipinos. (not mentioning corruption, etc.)
This is the kind of a technology that government have to support... Thank you, mr. Diaz"...👍😊
Well done friend. You are a type of human rarer than the Dodo. Helping your fellow man WITHOUT wanting to be a "billionaire." You will be rewarded. No doubt at all.
God bless you all for caring - and for doing something so wonderful to help the poor...
fantastic idea both to help give the poor light and to effectively recycle plastic containers .. thank you for your endeavour and may God bless you and your efforts ..
wow!!!! it will help our people specially the poor that can't afford the electrical bill,.... go for it!!!!! may GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS,.....

The way prices are rising in my country, we'll all be using them. People over here are paying $1000 plus every 3 months for their electricity bill. It's crazy.
It doesnʻt matter who invented this first. Whatʻs more important is that its being put to good use.

This is a great break-through ! I really hope this pans out and doesn't get stopped by the government. Finally something positive in the world. Especially bringing it to Africa and Asia to help those in poverty. Great invention! Happy about this.

These solar lights are great and generate a good light ...however surely slicing the bottles open and gluing several together as a sheet then making a velux type window even in a frame that could be opened would let iteven more light

does the bleach and distilled water mixed into a bottle create light that bright or do we have to add some chemicals into the bottle to get that brightness??
how wonderful!
This is just great, good people not looking to profit but just to solve a problem.
Bottle lamp calls Moser Lamp... It's inventor is Alfredo Moser from Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Wow! This is fantastic! How can we donate our plastic bottles?

when i read the comments here it becomes very obvious that many of you have no idea how some people live, skylights and windows are expensive and let in heat and often these places dont have outside walls. they cover many areas completely to keep heat out. they dont have access to materials like somewhere like the US has either.

Alfredo Moser invented this home made light bulb.

I wonder how this industry is doing now. It's a great idea.
I wonder if they know you can also make light with water and salt and a magnet....and also with 2 wires ,copper and a magnet...both ways work.. for lighting...free lights forever...
instead of chlorine can we use sea water
In America you can buy a solar led light for a dollar at the dollar stores.
is this bulbs are really bright??

Good initiative, But - Why complicate things so much? Just a transparent Corrugated roof (Plastic or glass-wool instead of metal) would be simple to put and provide MUCH MORE light, no? (I know they are available - but don't know if they are way too expensive compared to the Metal Sheets)..

transparent corrugated roof is just too expensive something like $25 compared to say $15 for the metal one. Plus, its not widely available and I doubt it can withstand the typhoons (we get about 20 a year) that bombard the islands.
I believe Alfred Moser began this idea in Brazil. His idea has traveled world wide. Moser began this decades ago

Solar is a game changer! Science is awesome 😎
You need 500 bottlesfor light. Still its quite weird nobody can make the solar version fir 10 bucks with coco cola
**doesn't work at night when you actually need light**
how to make this plz tell us detailly
A leaking roof ?
Its been 9 years in the Philippines, should atleast the Government is developing this but unfortunately its 2022 and its been forgotten 😭
so essentially its a small skylight with a refractive lens, how in any way is that a lightbulb, and doesnt produce any light on its own,
What about night?
i tried it a few years ago, i use bleach and water in plastic bottle but sadly it doesn't work, where i got wrong?

you don't live in a shanty with no built to no building regs though and maybe it does not produce that much more light, and the world has way too many of theses bottles. this is part of a solution.
Is this use in night
Why don't they use a hole they make for bottles to shine directly from roof without installation of bottles.??
