SolPals on The Giggle Guide

The Giggle Guide has just done a write up on SolPals.  Read what they had to say.

Many children are at least a bit afraid of the dark, which can make bedtime less peaceful. Kids are prone to nightmares and terrors, making it hard for them to either fall asleep or stay in a restful state. A lack of deep, restful sleep can lead to all sorts of health issues. How can parents help their children — and others less fortunate than themselves — enjoy a more restful sleep? SolPals, a company that develops solar-powered nightlights, not only harnesses the energy of the sun in a fun way for children, but also donates to those less fortunate. read more>

Can Your Child Help Reduce Energy Costs?

The simple answer to the question is YES.  And we all know what simple things kids can do by turning off the light, shutting down their electronics and so on.  However today I want to address one specific area where there is a huge amount of energy consumption by our children.  But before I begin let me through out some interesting facts that will help prove my conclusion.

1.       4,499,200 kids are born each year.  How did I come up with this number?  First the USA population is around 304 Million according to the census.  Also according to the census there is a 14.8% birth rate.  By utilizing some simple math you will come up with the same number.

2.       The average night light utilizes a 9 Watt bulb.

3.       The average night light is used 12 hours a day.

I am sure you can see where I am head by the above information.  So, now let’s calculate the consumption here in the USA:

kWh Average Cost $.13

Total Number of Kids between ages 0-12 are 54 Million

Annual kWh night light usage if all kids had a night light 1.1 Trillion

If we eliminated all power outlet night lights, the country would save $150 Million a year which could be used to power 107,784 homes each year. 

So, kids today can contribute by converting from a power outlet night light to a SolPals Solar Powered Hybrid Night Light.  CLICK HERE to learn more.

Solar Night Lights vs. Electric Nightlights / Power Outlet Nightlights

First, I am the inventor of the SolPals Solar Powered Hybrid Nightlights/Flex Lights.  I have spent the last three years developing these lights.  My a-ha moment was when I noticed my young children are attracted to the nightlights thus the power outlet.  I started to do some research and found several disturbing facts about the Power outlet nightlight.  See below:

1.       7 children per day are treated in the emergency room from electrical outlet accidents and boys are the highest risk.

2.       In and average year, Consumer Product Safety Commission receives about 10 reported incidents where nightlights were cited as being responsible for fires.

3.       80% of all injuries associated with electrical outlets occur in your home.

4.       65% of all electrical outlet injuries are on the hand.

5.       70% of Children under the age of 2 receive burns to their mouths from electrical outlet accidents

6.       Electrical accidents results in an estimated 1,000 deaths per year of which 200 are children.

7.       If 100% of children in the USA used SolPals night light we would save around $150 Million a year in power consumption revenue.

8.       If 100% of children in the USA used eclectic nightlights we would use 1.1 Trillion kWh which would power 107,784 homes each year.

I have been completely oblivious to the potential danger to my children and home.  So, I did a little more digging on the danger and found a US Consumer Product Safety Commission document#5063 which outlines only one immediate danger of the standard power outlet nightlight “the location of the nightlight”.  You can read the article by visiting my website at the following link:

http://www.solpals.com/solar-nightlights-verses-electric-nightlights.htm

In the next year I will provide several informative resources of the dangers of nightlights.  It’s my hope that you will look at our solar powered lights as an alternative solution for your kids lighting / nightlight needs.  And know that our primary objective is to lighten up the night with the power of the sun, because NO child should be left in the dark.

To learn more about our products please visit our website at www.solpals.com we will begin to sell our lights towards the end of first quarter of 2011.
