IDEAS FOR OUR WORLD
The first intervention we chose to address was the lighting industry. The Renewable & Solar Energy industry has expanded rapidly in the past several years and growth is expected to continue at a strong pace for the foreseeable future. We intended to address the needs of customers in this market with a higher quality and multipurpose Solar LED lamp at competitive costs thereby maintaining the sustainability for the population that have lesser opportunity. The key objective was the design of a multipurpose Solar led lamp, to serve various lighting needs through just product thereby making it more cost effective. Along with this the idea was to provide longer Backup & Brighter light designed for various use cases based on an intensive research of how, where and why light is needed.

THE IDEA
ECCODIVA is an energy efficient, multi-purpose product from ECCO - Ideas For Our World. The simplicity and design makes it a user friendly and handy light for every household. The innovative solar light has 5 distinct modes: Portable, Ceiling, Torch, Reading Lamp and Wall Mode
IDEAS FOR OUR WORLD
THE STRATEGY
A Solar Energy Product, the ECCODIVA delivers more than 90% charging with LED Drive efficiency, thus emitting light for a longer period of time (15 - 250 hrs.) from a smaller battery source and making it a reliable source for illumination. The ECCODIVA can also be charged with any Power Source (AC Adapter or Unregulated DC Power Source of any Rating) from 7V - 24V, that is lying around in your House. The ECCODIVA comes with a Mobile Charging feature which allows most commonly available mobile phone models & brands to be charged using the ECCODIVA. These different configurations allow the user to use the light flexibly and conveniently based upon his usage requirements.
