Liter of Light is an open source design for a low-cost light tube that refracts solar light to provide daytime interior lighting for dwellings with thin roofs. Daylighting is cheaper than using indoor electric lights during the day. The device is simple: a transparent two-liter bottle is filled with water plus a little bleach to inhibit algal growth and fitted into a hole in a roof. The device functions like a deck prism: during daytime the water inside the bottle refracts sunlight, delivering about as much light as a 40–60 watt incandescent bulb to the interior. A properly installed solar bottle can last up to 5 years.

  • Liter of Light ist eine kleine Lichtröhre, die mit einfachen Mitteln angefertigt werden kann, um Licht in Räume zu leiten. Verwendung finden ein Stück Blech und eine als Lichtleiter dienende wassergefüllte Plastikflasche. Die obere Hälfte der Flasche wird so an einem Loch in der Decke befestigt, dass sie dort von der Sonne außerhalb des Raums beschienen wird. Der Brechungsindex des Wassers in der Flasche sorgt anschließend dafür, dass das Sonnenlicht aufgrund der Totalreflexion direkt nach unten umgeleitet wird. Für Haushalte, die aus verschiedenen Gründen keine Fenster in ihren Behausungen haben, aber auch Gegenden ohne Stromversorgung wie die Wellblechhütten in den Armutsvierteln auf den Philippinen eine günstige Methode, dennoch ihre Innenräume zu beleuchten.
