Simon Wilby’s LED-Based “The Sail One” and “The Smart Bulb”
Maximizing the potentials of technology by harnessing the energy of the sun is one of the objectives of autodidact and solar power advocate, Simon Wilby, in inventing solar-powered devices. Toward this end, The Smart Power, Inc. — fittingly located in the Caribbean island-nation of Barbados — was founded by Simon Wilby to develop, market and sell his inventions. Emphasizing the “smart-ness” of the devices which he has invented over the years was one of the reasons for using the word “smart” in naming his company. His devices are “smart” because they are environmentally-friendly, safe and cost-effective.
“The Sail One” and “The Smart Bulb” are only two among said devices which Simon Wilby is marketing through The Smart Power, Inc. The Sail One is a solar street lamp which Simon Wilby intends to market to governments embarking on street lighting projects, while The Smart Bulb is a self-charging light bulb meant for lighting houses, buildings and other structures. Designing an incentives package for governments that are short on funds, Simon Wilby hopes to enable them to avail of these cost-saving solar-lamps.
LED-lighting, or “Light-Emitting Diode”-lighting, is the technology behind The Sail One and The Smart Bulb. LED-lighting is known to be environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient and relatively inexpensive. These devices’ LED-based technology complements Simon Wilby’s solar power advocacy.
