Did someone told him about « windows » ?
Or you could just open a window.
I think you’re not really understanding the kind of housing this is made for. Shacks in slums don’t generally have nice triple glassed windows.
I also dislike the idea of poking holes in my roof, for any reason.
I'm much more intersted in the gravity light which was featured here a few months ago.

The way I figure, people in need of one of these lights probably won't have windows to let light into their homes, so it makes a bit more sense for their application.

"The lamps work best with a black cap..." - why would that be so? Wouldn't a reflective cap work well too?
