Award of Excellence at the 4th Eco Products Awards of Japan

Sharp's LN-LW3A1 solar-LED lighting module won the Award of Excellence in the Eco Products Category at the 4th Eco Products Awards of Japan. The solar-LED lighting module generates electricity with solar cells in the daytime, stores that electricity in storage batteries, and then provides lighting with that electricity at night.

These modules provide "environmental lighting for the 21 century," and can reduce CO₂ emissions by approximately 48 kg per year ^*1 compared with lighting using commercial power.
