EcoZoom: The Multi Light

Design specifications include: a solar panel, a battery and three solar lamps. The solar module is a polycrystalline silicon panel with 6 Wp of maximum power point and with an aluminium frame. The battery is Lithium-Ion type with 3,7 V of nominal voltage and 2600 mAh capacity. EcoZoom lamps are LED type and have two light outputs: 150 and 75 lumens. All orange bulbs have red LED lights that indicate when bulbs are charging.

The product is designed for user-customization. For example, additional modules, bulbs, or power banks can be purchased from the manufacturer.^{Interview with the representative}

The manufacturers claim that no specific training is needed to operate this product. However, there is an instructional video on how to use the product and the system comes with a user manual. For further support, users must contact the manufacturer.

This product has a 2-year warranty and an estimated battery lifecycle of 3 years.

This Solar Home System has been tested by Lightning Global. In the tests conducted it was found that the light bulbs achieve a run time (in a typical solar charging day, assuming 5 kWh/m²/day) of 4.7 and 4.5 hours when charged alone and in combination with the battery respectively. For the battery, the same test conducted (alone and combined charging) found that when charged alone, 1 and 0.3 full phone charges can be achieved. Regarding the lighting performance, it was found that the three lamps achieve a light output of 120 lm at high brightness setting, with lumen efficacy of 95 lm/W and lumen maintenance of 104%.

The Solar Home power is a plug and play device, however, electrical installation and control guidelines provided by EcoZoom must be followed to avoid electrical shocks.
