00:00A light bulb that can be turned on without being plugged to an electric socket or connected

00:14to a battery could revolutionize the way people light their homes, according to its UAE-based

00:19inventor.

00:20The Wonder Bulb is an energy-saving light bulb that lights up by simply putting its

00:24base in your mouth or in a cup of water.

00:27The highly efficient 9-watts flamber, made of 18 LEDs with a total output of 900 lumina,

00:33will be sold for 69 dirhams apiece in supermarkets across the UAE.

00:38The bulb can run without being recharged for up to 25 hours.

00:41The bulb basically is just like any normal LED bulb.

00:45You fit it into a normal socket.

00:47It is universally accepted, whether it's a pin type or a screw type.

00:50We give the adapter along with it.

00:52So you plug it into a normal socket and work it as a normal LED bulb.

00:56So when you have power, it turns on, turns off with a normal wall switch.

01:00The moment the power goes off, the automatic circuit kicks in and the bulb works as if

01:06there was no power cut.

01:08So whether you have a power cut or not, the bulb stays on.

01:11This new device lights up when in contact with moisture.

01:14Dr. Inasso says it could greatly benefit households in rural Africa and India, and even revolutionize

01:20relief work in disaster zones.

01:22In the UAE, there are a lot of people who are involved in agricultural farming activities.

01:28Now for them, this would be very useful.

01:29It's a portable light source.

01:31Other than that, let's just say there's a lot of camping and desert-related activities

01:36going on here.

01:37It would be very useful for people like that.

01:40The Arabs, the local community here, is very much involved in outdoor activities and camping.

01:44So they would greatly benefit from this.

01:46Going for a normal picnic, going for any outdoor event, camping, trekking.

01:51I think they would greatly benefit from this product as well.

01:53The light bulb gets fully charged in three hours and it can then be used for three to

01:57four nights.

01:58It can be very useful in countries where power outages are common.
