Solis-X: World's First Solar Rechargeable Lighter
NO more worries about an empty lighter. Just sunlight and always accessible fire in your pocket.
Solis-X — Solar Rechargeable Lighter
We love nature and we think it should be treated with care. Plastic is one of the main pollutants in the past couple of decades and we’re not fond of overusing it. The Solis-X team wants you to use one lighter for years, if not decades. Having the ability to start a fire with Solis-X is a game-changer — as it uses solar energy or electricity to charge.
Imagine one basic lighter. It’s made from an inconsiderate amount of plastic and lights up using small amounts of either gas or gasoline. The issue is not one lighter itself, but millions of such products that regularly end up in trash or nature.That way you can always have a fire for your next grill, hiking trip or anything in between. It can also become an essential part of your emergency - survival kit and we can even engrave a special message for a special person as a completely unique present.
Here is our green solution - Solis-XSolis-X, prototype 0001!
Test results:It's working better than we were expected We tested it over 5 months, every day in normal use. We charged it via USB only 2 times in this period (rainy days) Keep it on sunlight for 2 - 3 hours a day and it will give you 15-25 lights. Battery indicator rarely goes below 3 dots. The Solis-X is still solid and works perfectly. (Of course it has a few scratches from pockets, backpack, table.
Yes, the Solis-X has a built-in battery. However, it’s a highly durable Lithium Polymer battery which puts it at the very top of eco-friendly solutions on the market. Not to mention we will follow up on every change in the market and push our boundaries towards an even greener future for both Solis-X and the environment. We already proved it with built-in SOLAR panel.
Using your new daily lighter
1. Opening the top lid of your Solis-X lighter 4 LED indicators light up on the right side of the lighter. They indicate the following:
1 indicator on: 0–25% battery left
2 indicators on: 25–50% battery left
3 indicators on: 50–75% battery left
4 Indicators on: 75–100% battery left
2. When charging it via USB, the indicators flash. When all 4 LED indicators are fully on (not flashing), your Solis-X is charged.
3. When charging Solis-X by using sunlight, lift up the top lid to check the battery status (see point 1). It takes 8–15 minutes for one light to charge Solis-X by using solar — depending on the sunlight strength and the angle of the sunrays. Ideally, sunlight should hit the solar panel at 180 degrees for maximum efficiency.
4. Lighting up the Solis-X, lift the lid and touch the ON sign. After the use, just close the lid. Easy-peasy! If you don’t close the lid, after 10 seconds of lighting it will be turned off automatically.
A few Solis-X facts to keep in mind To enjoy using your Solis-X as long as possible, we suggest you don’t charge it in direct sunlight during the hottest summer days at around noon. In those days charge Solis-X in the morning and evening hours. Additionally, leaving your Solis-X in the hot car is a no-no! Recommended battery charging temperature: 32–118.4°F, 0–48°C, Recommended battery working temperature: -4–140°F, -20–60°C, Change the paradigm with Solis-X.
Environmentally friendly facts. Solis-X firelighter body is made of aluminium. Also we build in long life span solar panel (expected 10 years, Expected life span of the battery is 5-7 years - daily use (properly stored over 15 years). The battery can be replaced with a new one, Solis-X is a solar rechargeable firelighter. NO gas, NO electricity. Just sunlight and always accessible fire.
Energy savings in numbers:If 1 000 000 people use Solis-X and charge it only one time per year on the sunlight we can save average annual electric energy for 1 residential home. Powered by one small firelighter Solis-X:)
1. When you charge Solis-X via USB using 5V 1A charger it takes 2 hours to fully charge. 5V x 1A = 5 Watts x 2 (hours) = 10 Watts per hour.
2. 1 kWh = 1000 Watts per hour
3. 10 Wh / 1000 Wh = 0.01 kWh (Kilowatts per hour) energy needed to fully charge Solis-X.
4. 1 000 000 milion Solis-X charged only one time per year on the sunlight: 0.01 kWh x 1 000 000 = 10 000 kW
5. The average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential home customer is 10,399 kilowatt hours (kWh).
6. Also this means 1 000 000 disposable lighters (plastic, gas) less in our environment.
