WakaWaka is a highly efficient solar-powered LED lamp. Dutch tech firm Intivation’s patented SunBoost Gen3 chip ensures a greater efficiency than any other solar lamp in the same price class. Efficiency is up to 200 % greater than regular solar lamps, especially on overcast days or during the rainy season. With less than one day of sunlight, the WakaWaka can provide 16 hours of reading light – unprecedented for a lamp that costs under USD 10 to manufacture. Designed and manufactured according to UNFCCC requirements, the WakaWaka is also eligible for CDM carbon credits.

Bishkek Vodka is produced in The Kyrgyz Republic, a Central Asian country and former Soviet Republic renown for its incredible natural beauty. The purity of the country’s natural resources, refined by authentic methods of vodka production, have led to a vodka of unequalled character.

Due to the region’s arduous terrain, this vodka has never before traveled beyond the country’s borders.

Bishkek Vodka is now available in the Netherlands.
