Innovative lighting...

[lspencer534]

An innovative initiative is taking place in the Philippines to bring sustainable lighting to homes in impoverished communities. Empty plastic bottles are installed in the roof, filled with water and bleach they refract sunlight. These “solar light bulbs” provide light equivalent to a 55watt light bulb.

My guess would be that it keeps organisms from growing in the water, like chlorine in a swimming pool...?
