WaterLight

WaterLight is a device that provides 45 days of light using only salt water, and can also charge small appliances such as a mobile phone or a radio via a USB port. Perfectly suited to seawater, the device also responds to fresh water mixed with salt and even urine. WaterLight has been created as a long-lasting, 100% recyclable product, which is designed to function for 5,600 hours, the equivalent of over 230 days of use. The waterproof design reflects the cultural heritage of the Wayúu people.
