It is the first humanitarian organization to utilize solid-state lighting technologies to bring affordable, safe, healthy, efficient, and environmentally responsible lighting to people currently without access to proper lighting.

Since inception, through the generous support from interested individuals, host country organizations, international foundations and industrial partners, LUTW has lit up more than 4,000 homes in countries around the globe.
