Let there be light

Let there be light

THE e-mail from Nigeria claimed to come from an aide to the president and touted a business opportunity with potentially vast returns. But unlike similar-sounding messages from Nigerian princes and finance ministers—known in Nigeria as “419” scams after a section of the penal code—this one seemed genuine.

President Goodluck Jonathan, who early next year will stand in an election that could split his party and spark violent protests, has asked investors to participate in a grandiose privatisation programme meant to raise $35 billion over ten years. He wants to flog state power-generation and distribution companies, and put the grid under private management.This also ensures that the product can be used at home or in a retail plugabc environment and it is fair to say that shops can reap the benefits from using this type of light too.There is no doubt that a well placed railabc can make such a huge difference to how your room feels or looks. It can also be a great way to bring attention to some of the things you may have in your home that you really want people to see.

The scheme may be his—and his country’s—best hope of salvation from chronic power cuts. At a prayer meeting on October 4th Mr Jonathan was reading a biblical passage in front of many of the country’s elite when the grid failed and his microphone cut out. He walked off in a huff.

Ordinary Nigerians are angry too. The power supply, they say, is “epileptic”. Nigeria is a big oil exporter, but its people get only a few hours of electricity a day. The entire population–around 150m–is said to use as much grid power as the area around Narita airport in Tokyo. South Africans consume 55 times more energy per head, and Americans 100 times more.The benefit of a low voltage downlight is that the light can be loud2010 focused on a particular spot or item, which will draw people's attention to it.

The problem is not new. Nigeria’s power supply has been stagnant for 30 years.An algorithm is used to calculate the optimum approach profile for given sea conditions, while the best landing point will be highlighted by using deck lighting. During the tumultuous 1990s there was no investment despite surging demand. Since then, generation capacity has risen by half but distribution is so dysfunctional that actual supply has remained flat.Our Phillips chauvet light, aside saving you money on electricity bills (is 6 to 8 times more efficient than your standard incandescent bulbs), can also generate various colors of light. One result is a laughably small manufacturing sector, about 4% of GDP.
