SunNight Solar is set to launch their new SL2 (SunLight2) or SuperBoGo solar powered flashlight by giving away 500 of them.
The free lights will be supplied free of charges including freight and mill be delivered in mid-August. Each unit is individually numbered – 1/500 and they are in blue ABS plastic and on the side, laser etched – it says “Changing the World – Limited Edition” May 2008.
SunNight Solar invites requests from people who want a free light with the reason why they should send you a light. They will decide who gets a light – and obviously, people who are in a position to either blog to a large audience, put out a media article, buy lots of lights in the future, are heavily involved in environmental or humanitarian work, work for FEMA, the upper management of Red Cross or Greenpeace, in charge of the US Senate’s oversight committee on incredibly large sums of money for foreign aid and really huge contracts for small businesses, the Governors of any the Gulf Coast states, the Pope, Al Gore or Angelina Jolie – all of these people are probably going to get a light and Bill Gates can have two; if they send a request. If you just want a free light, just because you like to get free things, or you like to camp or don’t like spending money on single use battery flashlights - you are probably not going to make the cut.
They will also just send some to people with really good stories. Peace Corps volunteers getting ready to go abroad are high on this list, people set to trek alone across large parts of the globe, people working in remote places, American men and women heading to war, or people with just really good stories. They probably won't send them internationally either. If you would like a chance at a free light check out the details here.
