Interesting project to light up the world with LEDs. Of particular interest is the way LED tech could be built into other materials, such as roofing.
Their innovation flows from this realization:
This major goal is being achieved by the use of a safe, simple, healthy, affordable and reliable form of home lighting using low energy (1-Watt) White Light Emitting Diodes (WLED) Solid State Lighting (SSL). A child can read by the light of a single WLED which consumes less than 1 Watt. Thus, a rural home can be lit to a very useful level of illumination with ONE watt.
Solid -State lighting technology along with our processes can reorient development strategies toward the creation of enterprise, increased employment, enhanced income and gender equity, health and safety, and protection of the physical environment.

This means I'm hogging three rural homes worth of lumens every time I turn on my ridiculously bright LED flashlight.... cool!
wow! this is just fucking fascinating.
(I feel like I write that everytime I come over here, but it's always true)
