One-Dollar Magic Lamps 

 

“Wow, I can read a book in my room now!” shouted Marco, a boy in a village in the Philippines. 

 

His house has no electricity just like all the other houses in the village. 

 

People in the village are too poor to pay for electricity. 

 

Even during the daytime, they live in darkness because the houses are packed close together. 

 

Now things are changing because of a single plastic bottle. 

 

One plastic bottle in the ceiling can light up a whole room without using any electricity. 

 

This amazing plastic bottle is called a Moser lamp 

 

because it was invented by Alfredo Moser. 

 

In 2002, there were many blackouts in his town in Brazil. 

 

These blackouts made him come up with a new way to light his house. 

 

A Moser lamp can be made for about one dollar and lasts for about 10 years. 

 

It is also very safe. 

 

It can never start a house fire. 

 

Surprisingly, it is very easy to make this magic lamp.

 

How to make a Moser lamp from a bottle 

 

1. Fill a clear plastic bottle with water. 

 

2. Add some bleach to keep the water clear. 

 

3. Make a hole in the roof, and push the bottle into the hole. 

 

4. Let a third of the bottle remain above the roof. 

 

5. Sunlight is bent by the water in the bottle and spreads around the room. 

 

In the Philippines, Moser lamps are widely used by the My Shelter Foundation. 

 

The charity also teaches local people how to make and install the lamps. 

 

Thanks to the charity, thousands of homes in the Philippines now have Moser lamps. 

 

It has also made Moser lamps popular in other countries, such as Argentina, India, and Fiji. 

 

Moser lamps will light up the lives of many people for many years to come.
