Solight Design

SOLIGHT DESIGN ™ MAKES BEAUTIFULLY AND SUSTAINABLE HOME LIGHTING PRODUCTS THAT APPEAL TO THE DESIGN AND ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS CONSUMER WHILE PROVIDING LIGHTS TO THOSE IN NEED.

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.

To aid our mission, 10% of Solight-Design.com‘s online sales goes to supplying lights throughout the world through our NGO partners. These organizations work in developing regions to deliver lights to people in need.

You can help today. Buy lights on our website to give to any of our participating NGO partners and we will add another 10%. Together we can achieve 10 Million Rays of Light™.
