Berkey® LED Light Bases and Solar Chargers

The Berkey^® Base is made of a durable non BPA copolyester and is designed to fit under most gravity filtration systems including the Big Berkey^®, the Travel Berkey^® and Berkey Light^® systems.

The Berkey^® Base elevates gravity purification systems enabling containers to fit under the spigots. This allows a gravity purifier to be used directly on the ground or situated anywhere on a flat surface and eliminates the requirement that the purifier be placed on the edge of a table or counter. The base has an optional eight-lamp LED lighting system for use with the Big Berkey^® and Berkey Light^® systems. This allows optimum use during no or low light conditions. Used with transparent Berkey Light™ systems, the light shines through the water causing the droplets of filtered water to light up and glow. The resulting waves reflect soothing patterns of light onto the surrounding area. The lighting effects coupled with the melody of raindrops, combine to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere.

The eight LED lamps within the base are the perfect night light and the WHITE LED’s are bright enough to provide a long lasting low energy source of reading light, emergency light, a camping light as well as a beacon for water in no or low light conditions. The COBALT BLUE LED’s are beautiful and are a real eye catcher. The MULTI-COLOR base comes with eight bright lights, 2 blue, 2 yellow, 2 green and 2 red. This LED lamp is perfect for the holidays or other festive occasions. The Multi-color base is designed with beauty in mind and is for use in situations where it is desirable to enhance the ambience of the surrounding atmosphere. Additionally, the LED lamps are directional so the base can also be used as a stand-alone emergency flashlight.

LED lights are unique in that they require very small amounts of energy and yet are very bright, in fact, the LED’s can be spotted for over one mile in dark environments. This enables the LED to be illuminated all night long on a single charge of the internal rechargable batteries. TheBerkey^® Base comes complete with a 110V AC adapter allowing the base to be powered by a standard 110V AC current. (To use outside the US, a Step Down Voltage Converter may be required SEE BELOW; please check your local voltage requirements first). When the LED’s are switched off, the 110 Volt AC adapter automatically begins recharging the batteries. When utilizing the optional Berkey Battery Adapter^™ case, the low energy LED’s will provide light (8 hours per night) for approximately two weeks on a single set of four AA alkaline batteries. Incredibly, you get two weeks of emergency light for the price of one set of small AA batteries. When standard electrical power is unavailable, the optional Berkey MP Solar^™ charger can be used to recharge the Berkey^® Base batteries during daylight hours for later use at night. The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger also has its own internal batteries which can also be used to power theBerkey^® Base or other aplications.The LED lamps can be powered by the internal rechargeable batteries

(included with LED base), the AC adapter (included with LED base), the Berkey Battery Adapter^™ case(optional) and the Berkey MP Solar^™ charger (optional).The flexibility of the Berkey^® Base allows for its use as a long-term source of lighting in environments where electrical power is unavailable. Where electricity is available, the 110 Volt AC adapter allows for continuous use. The bright LED lamps have an average life of 100,000 hours, which is more than 11 years of continuous use.

The Berkey^® Base is currently available in four versions; without lights, with bright white lights, with beautiful cobalt blue lights and with festive multi-color lights. The base without lights is designed for situations where elevation of the gravity filter is desired without the need for any auxiliary lighting. Cobalt blue is designed with beauty in mind and is for use in situations where it is desirable to enhance the ambience of the surrounding atmosphere. It is simply beautiful. The white LED version is designed for practical use in situations where emergency or auxiliary lighting may be required. The multi-color base is perfect for the holidays or other festive occasions. The lights are bright enough to be usefull as a reading-light, night-light, flash-light or room-light.

The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger – your environmental friendly source of free electricity from the sun. This portable system is book-size when folded and can easily be placed in a briefcase, handbag or glove compartment. The built-in battery cabin containing six rechargeable batteries provides for a flexible and convenient source of auxiliary backup power at night or whenever sunlight is not available.

The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger is designed for use in conjunction with the Berkey Light^™ LED Base^™. TheBerkey^® LED lamps are unique because incredibly, they have an average life of more than 11 years of continuous use and are so bright they can be spotted for over a mile in the dark yet, they require very small amounts of energy. The LED technology is more expensive than traditional light bulbs but it is worth every penny because the low energy LED’s can save hundreds of dollars in replacement batteries alone. The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger can be used during the day to recharge the Berkey Base^™batteries for later use at night. It also has its own internal batteries, which can be used to power The Berkey Light^™LED Base^™.

The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger can also be used to power a countless number of other applications, including mobile phones, disc (cassette) players, digital cameras, PDA’s, radios, shavers, etc. Its multi-voltage capabilities(6V, 7.2V and 12V), multiple adapters and six powerful Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries provide for a flexible and convenient source of auxiliary backup power at night or whenever sunlight is not available.

The Berkey MP Solar^™ charger is easy to use. Simply place the Berkey MP Solar^™ charger in a sunny location, select the proper voltage, plug in your application and theBerkey MP Solar^™ charger begins charging. The built-in indicator light confirms the application is charging.

Disconnect your application and the system automatically begins charging its own powerful Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries and & there’s no guesswork because the “battery full” indicator light turns on when the batteries are fully charged. Simply plug your application into the outlet jack and your instant backup power source is ready for use.

Notes:
1) Batteries degrade when they become overheated. When charging the Berkey Light^™ LED Base^™ or any other application that has rechargeable batteries, if possible, it is strongly recommended that the application (such as the Berkey Light^™ LED Base^™) be placed in a shady area to prevent the rechargeable batteries from overheating.

2) To prevent the rechargeable batteries within the Berkey MP Solar^™ charger from overheating, it is recommended that they be charged no longer than 4-6 hours at a time.
