• Reduced cost – the Nokero should pay for itself within a few months time as it doesn’t have the ongoing costs associated with kerosene, etc.
• Reduced risk – the Nokero will serve as a safer and more stable light source, less likely to explode or catch fire.
• Reduced pollution – especially indoors, this will result in better health for those in developing countries due to less smoke and chemical inhalation.

The technology is still infantile – a day’s charge is expected to provide two hours of sunlight – with the device holding perhaps four hours total. That said, it may be enough to at least supplement kerosene and other light sources – and if one has two of them, one could use one after the other to provide lighting for four to eight hours.
