Let There Be Light

Light Up The World Foundation (LUTW) utilizes Solid State Lighting technologies powered by renewable resources to enhance the quality of life of the poor in the developing world. Founded in 1997 by Dr. Dave Irvine-Halliday, LUTW is a humanitarian initiative whose chief goal is to assist poor villagers in the developing world obtain a useful, healthy, safe, reliable, rugged, affordable and environmentally friendly White Light Emitting Diode (WLED) based form of home lighting.

This major goal is being achieved using low energy (1-Watt) WLEDs. 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 only 1 Watt. Solid-State lighting technology 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.
