Nowadays, our community is in need of an alternative source of energy which can be used as the source of light on where it is safe, cheaper, environment friendly, and effective can be established. Light is a major contribution in the advancement of men through time from the discovery of fire to modern fluorescent and LED lights, we can conclude that light is a necessary that without it will struggle with our daily life and night life.
We have thought of innovation of the existing salt water lamp which is existing nowadays. The group research about providing modern lighting on household that doesn’t have electricity, either can’t afford to pay or living on rural areas. Salt water when combined with additives can provide sufficient voltage that can power led lights, this alternative way of providing light can be produced by using cheap materials and can sufficiently provide light to household during night time.
We’ve come up with this idea because we are concern in students living in rural areas who studies at night. This will surely help them to lessen their difficulties while studying during night time. In the result of our study, we can conclude that it can provide a good source of light to rural areas without electric supply.

Findings and Conclusions: After gathering data through series of experiments, the researchers’ findings are as follows; LED powered by three mediums (lemon juice, chlorine, vinegar) is an effective source of electricity and light during night, the led works straight for 10 hours and continues to work consistently without showing weakness. The researchers also found out that focusing on chlorine which helps develop a larger voltage output.
