 I. NAME OF THE ACTIVITY:

BRIGHT LIGHT (LITER OF LIGHT ADAPTATION)

II. RATIONALE:

This project proposal is influenced by Mr. Illac Diaz and his Liter of Light that we

saw on the internet, by that we are encourage to build our own liter of light and give it to

other people that are needing a light for their home that are living in our community.

This project is all about using solar energy to have a light for houses. Solar energy is

the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and people use it

to transform solar energy into electrical energy and light up the bulb or led light. This

project can answer the problem of sudden power interruption during night and day or

the scheduled power interruption that reached up to 12 hours and these problems we

are experiencing in Albay. Due to sudden power outages and weekly power interruption

happening to our area, liter of light can help to have secondary source of light to. Also,

power consumptions are getting higher and the electric bill are also getting higher, liter

of light can help to decrease the power consumption as a source of light during night

time.

Plastic water bottles make up 80% of all waste in landfills. Each bottle can take

up to 1,000 years to disintegrate. Chemicals are also included in plastic water bottles,

and all these chemicals can leak into the water. Consumers may be exposed to

hazardous amounts of plastic leachate. That’s why making use of used plastic water

bottles and recycling it will greatly decrease the pollution and also reduce the risk of

health-related illnesses. Also, recycling water bottles are not limited to liter of light, water
bottles can be recycled into different things if we wanted to, just by using our different

ideas, imaginations and creative thinking and skills.

III. OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this project are:

 To create a low-cost lighting source that could be produced and given locally to

underprivileged communities around the country.

 To deal with the sudden power interruption that the Bicolanos are dealing with

and to decrease power consumption and electric bills of houses.

 To decrease the pollution of plastic bottles by recycling it and encourage people

to recycle things that can be recycled.

IV. PROPONENTS

This project will be conducted by the following first year BS Electrical Engineering

students of Bicol University.

V. TARGET PARTICIPANTS:
The target participant/s of this project are families that are needing a source of light for

their homes especially at night. The implementors of this project will be giving (2) liter of

light to 2 families, 1 each per family, that are residing in Maipon, Guinobatan, Albay.

8. PREPARING ANG CHECKING OF THE LIGHTS

9. IMPLEMENTATION

VII. WHERE:

This project will be implemented in Barangay Maipon, Municipality of Guinobatan,

Province of Albay.

VIII. WHEN:
This project will be implemented on the second period of Second Semester, school year

2021-2022, with the time frame of 1 week of implementation.

X. EXPECTED OUTPUT:

LITER OF LIGHT
 XI. IMPACT ASSESSMENT:

The main goal of this project “Liter of Light” is to have a light using solar energy in

our houses. Using this project, we can determine if there are an impact to our target

participants. One factor is helping those target participants to have a secondary source

of light when power outages suddenly happen. We all know that power interruption is

one problem in Albay. It also had a huge impact in electric bills, by this project it can

decreased the power consumption every day. The bottle we use can consider as a

recyclable material so less bottle garbage then less pollution and practice recycling

strategies. These factors are considered as a good impact from our project. The

significance of our project brought an impact to every individual and in our community.

XII. RECOMMENDATION:

The aim of this project is to create a low-cost lighting source that could be used and

given locally to less fortunate communities in our country. It also given for free to our

target participants that truly needs a source of light in their homes. We want to help

those families that experience no electricity. Even in a simple way we can assure that

they have a source of light in night. From darkness turns into brighter future.
