lighting to global communities
without electricity.

In May of this year, we reached a huge milestone, our 15th year as Pegasus Lighting! We couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by giving back.
We reached out to Unite to Light and knew this would be a great place to brighten a life and make an impact.
By partnering with Unite To Light we were able to provide $1500 worth of solar products to a village without electricity in northern Ghana.

“Your gifts will make a difference ensuring that school children have the
tools and resources needed to improve their
lives through education.”

gratitude for having been able to provide quality lighting to our awesome customers for a decade
and a half! Thanks for a brilliant 15 years, everyone, and here's to 15 more!”
