From the Manufacturer
The folding design of the origami balloon inspired the design for the SolarPuff. Just pull up and it pops open to a cube.
The Merlin series optimizes the magic of six colors in one unit. Red, green, blue, yellow, white and pink LEDs create a spectacular array of beautiful hues. Simply press the button to change color – display one steady color or set it to automatically change the colors for you.
Renewable solar energy means zero carbon footprint and long-term clean energy to mitigate environmental degradation. Charging in the sun for 8 hours will give enough light for 8-12 hours.
Weighs only 2.6 ounces, packs flat to 0.25-inches thin, and can float in water and be submerged to 6 feet below water surface.
Enables community gatherings in rural areas and provides safety after disaster; low cost makes light affordable for everyone.
Our company mission is to provide lights to those who need them most. There are over 1.6 billion people who have no access to electricity and clean sustainable lighting, something most of us take for granted.

How did you come up with the idea for this product?
After realizing my son’s asthma was caused by pollution, I looked for a sustainable form of energy harnessing. Solar cells were most efficient, so I created a prototype for a solar inflatable light. When the Haiti earthquake happened, I turned my studio at Columbia University into an innovation studio for developing solutions to help Haiti, and then the application of the solar inflatable light became the SolarPuff and the SolarHelix. -Alice Min Soo Chun, CEO Solight Design
