Comparison
"We are committed to making the highest quality products
we can, using the best component suppliers available - in our
batteries, plastic shells, light emitting diodes and solar panels. We
know you have options in selecting alternative energy products
and we appreciate your selection of SunNight Solar as your supplier of
innovative and reliable solar powered consumer devices. We ship our
lights all of the world, into places where they have to work - the
first time and all of the time. This is the reason have been selected
as suppliers to the United Nations, the US Department of Defense, the US Agency for International Development and many other international aid and assistance programs.
We travel and meet with our different component suppliers and maintain
a rigorous testing and evaluation program, changing suppliers when the
science or technology improves. Quite frequently, we do not buy the
lowest cost materials - we spend the extra money to produce for you a
truly exceptional product. We could make cheaper products, but we do
not strive to be the lowest cost retailer, we aim, and are, the best
manufacturer of solar products in the world. Some examples - we use
NiMH batteries instead of the cheaper NiCADs - because NiCADs pollute
the environment and do not work as well. We do not use the cheapest
LEDs available - because they will not last and will fail or lose
brightness after a short period of time. We use UV retardant in our
ABS plastic, to increase product lifespan. We use a polycarbonate lens
in our lights, instead of regular plastic, as polycarbonate does not
yellow with age and does not scratch easily. We use very sophisticated
electronics - the power management surface mounted circuit board in the
SL-2 has over 60 separate components - and we have three circuit boards
in this light alone. There are no other solar flashlights on the
market with our level of efficiency, performance and detail - we know -
we buy and test all of the other lights offered for sale. There is a
lot below the surface you will not see and thank you for reading this
and allowing us to describe to you why we make the best lights in the
world."
