The trial results are in and we’re pleased to announce that 92% of people said they would use a GravityLight instead of a kerosene lamp! Our trial has proved the concept of GravityLight and also given us a lot of useful feedback on how it can be improved and which features are not necessary. We’re […]
We are pleased to say that GravityLights for US pledgees have been dispatched, and are currently starting to arrive with individuals. Please allow at least one week from today for your light to arrive, as due to the shear amount of perks we are fulfilling, we have been dispatching the lights in batches on a daily basis.
Dispatch Update – The Lights are in the Post! As we write this, GravityLights are currently in the post to all European pledgees! The European ship has had a slightly faster journey than the ship to the USA and the rest of the World. The European shipment came into the UK, so, if you live […]
We wish you all a fantastic 2014! We have been a little bit silent recently as we are busy coordinating the global field trial and the shipping of your units among others.
GravityLights are now reaching our trial partners and Production of the Indiegogo pledgee’s GravityLights is well underway.
We’re delighted to report that the production line is now in full swing, alongside GravityLight’s first peripheral: SatLights.
We are excited to be able to confirm that Coleman, the world’s leading camping & outdoor gear manufacturer of tents, lanterns, coolers, stoves, sleeping bags & more, have generously stepped in at the last minute to provide the bags for GravityLight’s first production run.
We’re pleased to report a great deal of progress following successful meetings with our prototype manufacturers in China last week.
As our GravityLight trial nears - the core purpose of our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign - we wanted to share more details about how we plan to test and gather invaluable feedback on GravityLight.
We’re excited to share the final design and features of GravityLight ahead of the prototype production run.
We’ve had a great response from those of you offering to help with the GravityLight trial. Thank you!
There are respondents who have offered their support in getting feedback on GravityLight from over 27 different countries – not to mention the feedback we hope to get from pledgees who requested a light.The map below shows the range of locations that people have offered to help us trial GravityLight in communities with minimal access to electricity and using kerosene lamps for light.
Just as the sun has finally come back to London, Martin and Jim have emerged from months in the workshop where they have been further refining and testing GravityLight. They have now finalized the design that will be used for our global trial and, of course, be sent to those of you who requested one […]
Martin and Mary Riddiford visited Nawala School in Sri Lanka on 19th February 2013, where 20% of pupils’ homes have no electricity and kerosene lamps are used for lighting. Extra Cover, a UK based charity helping poor Sri Lankan schools, arranged visits to 3 of these homes and to meet the families. (see extracover.org.) Martin reported “I […]
Growing list of GravityLight trial supporters around the world
We’ve taken the opportunity to draw breath as our current manufacturing partner has taken leave for Chinese New Year. As the campaign was running so successfully we accelerated our programme and worked hard over the Christmas and new year period to issue revised data for a new iteration of development plastic parts. We now have […]
Dear contributors, Wow. After 40 amazing days the campaign has now closed, raising almost US$ 400,000. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of you who have helped us. Rather than using our time to individually respond to all your inspiring comments, we’ve been getting on with the main job in hand. No […]
