Offers an unparalleled consumer benefit: 4 hours‘ charging: 5 hours‘ light
BPL Techno Vision Pvt Limited(BTVL), the leading rechargeable lighting systems company in India, announced a breakthrough innovation in rechargeable LED lighting technology the BPL Chirag: 4 hours charging 5 hour light - for the Indian market. The recently developed, affordable BPL Chirag, range uses innovative ´Q‘ Tech, technology.
With BPL ´Q‘ Tech, unlike the 8 -12 hours of charging required by other lights in the category, BPL Chirag requires only 4 hours for full charging and gives 5 hours of light. The unique Q Tech technology allows charging even in fluctuating power and has the AC mains charging range from 90 Volts to 260 Volts.
“This is a significant achievement not just for BPL but also for India, as the new innovation gives India its first indigenously developed, fast charging, rechargeable light and takes states like UP, MP, Bihar & Orissa a step further in solar LED rechargeable revolution. The new BPL Chirag will enable millions of households to switch from kerosene and other crude lighting options, and lead a happier and healthier lifeâ€, says Mr. Ajit Nambiar, CMD, BPL Group
Developed at the BTVL R&D Centre in Bangalore, the BPL Chirag was designed to address the most common and widespread problem faced by millions across India and other developing countries on account of power outages which interrupts lives.
Lack of electricity is one of the main constraints in the development of rural India where 57% of the Indian population resides. Long power cuts are a reality and it is important that the viable options that are made available, address the existing problems. Most of the rechargeable lights fail in the rural areas because they need 8-12 hours of charging at a constant current charge.
“I believe that BPL Chirag will enlighten the lives in real India. I have visited villages across the country and stayed with rural folks in the run up to develop a product of its kind. I have found parents despondent about the future of their children who could not focus on studies due to irregular supply of electricity. Hopefully BPL Chirag will change this situationâ€, says Mr. K Vijaya Kumar, Chief Operating Officer, BPL Techno Vision Ltd.
BPL closely looked at all of these constrains and worked on its innovative ´Q Tech‘ Technology to offer the best solutions to the market in the form of BPL Chirag.
BPL Chirag, available in sturdy acrylic clear lamp cover, offers an unparalleled consumer proposition, for the first time. The unique Q Tech technology from BPL drastically shortens the time needed to recharge the light completely. BPL Chirag uses 24 nos. of cool daylight white LEDs and designed to provide 360 degree illumination. The light is powered by a 3.3 volt, 1600 mAh Battery
BPL Chirag is a mechanically shock resistant product and has been widely tested on different parameters like functional reliability, environmental testing, climatic variations and transport and handling stress.
