With the promotion of “buy one, give one,” Lemnis is matching every US purchase of its Pharox Solar Kits with a donation to Empowered by Light, a new nonprofit foundation that is delivering renewable energy lighting to schools in rural communities in Africa that do not have access to electricity.

Normally, Pharox Solar Kits sell at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $39.95 each. For the holiday season, two can be purchased for $49.95, with Lemnis shipping the second directly to Powered by Light for use in its Solar: Zambia program.

Pharox Solar Kits feature a 1.5-watt solar panel, a spherical LED lamp with a built-in USB port and charger. The solar panel can be repositioned easily and is able to fully charge the kit’s battery within eight hours. The led high bay light can then provide lighting for anywhere between eight and 45 hours depending on which of three settings is used. At its highest setting, it can light up a 30-square foot area.
