With the increasing regularity of natural disasters causing large scale devastation and power failures, a new product has been added to the selection of gear essential for survival: the wearable, solar charged 2C Solar Light Cap, which is now being promoted by a specialist survival gear company.
Developed in New Zealand by the innovative 2C Light Company, the 2C Solar Light Cap gave unequalled independence to outdoor adventurers, allowing them to have the comfort of light every night without the need for batteries. Used for extreme adventures such as crossing the Sahara desert and climbing the Himalayan mountains, wearers of the 2C Solar Light Cap gave accolades of the unequalled durability and hands-free convenience of a light you are always wearing, that charges its internal batteries from the infinite light of the sun. “Its less stuff to carry - I don’t need to bring spare batteries or chargers for lighting – its all in my hat”, said Steve Gurney, who crossed the Sahara by kite buggy.

Beginning with the severe earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand, reports were read of the life-saving use for the 2C Solar Light Caps. After being shaken awake by the terrifying earthquake, residents were left in darkness unable to see to find safety in their dangerous surroundings. In a letter to the Press, Gina Payne said, “One of our Solar Light Caps was close at hand because I had been using it to read my book in bed. There was broken glass on the bedroom floor and the dog was in there with us. Having light instantly saved both us and the dog from possible injury and continued to give us comforting light until the sun came up.”
Other reports included this from Lindsay Gough “After the shake, with the house coming down around my ears, I grabbed my hat, and was able to quickly find my children and exit the place. I credit the hat as saving them from injury and possibly worse.”
2C inventor Simon Dyer received many such reports and soon focussed on a new style particularly suited to supply the needs of survival. “In the days that followed this disaster, and many others in the world, there was no electric power to provide the light necessary for basic survival. It becomes necessary to be independent, and light is often needed to find food and shelter for our family and loved ones. Our products have received awards for our green technology and this renewable energy is even more essential when living off grid in survival situations.”
“We decided to produce a special range of 2C Solar Light Caps especially suitable for adding to people’s survival kit, or just to keep by the bed. Included in every 2C Solar Light Cap is an accurate SOS rescue signal, and at least 3 years of light, every night, without the need for batteries. This gives our customers great independence for surviving long power outages, and it’s also brilliant for extended
adventures” said Mr Dyer.
