About |
 |
 |
Bebi (pronounced mbambi with English spelling) Electronics was founded in 2004 at Fawn Harbor, Vanua Levu, by Michael Homsany, Kendra Pinsker, and Joe Prasad. It’s purpose (besides putting food on our table), is to provide employment to the village of Nakobo and its environs without disturbing the traditional way of life within the village. | |
| In respect to the pristine environment, we have chosen production methods that do not produce industrial waste. Being 40km from the nearest power line, most of our production electrical is powered by solar panels. In addition, for our exclusive resin, we utilize (cleaned) used beverage containers for the actual mixing. | ||
| Our latest project (not for export at this time, November 2007), is the Mata Ni Siga, a small solar home lighting system. 17k Fijian households are without mains power, so kerosene is the primary lighting source. Besides the cost of kero being in excess of F$1.00/night (and rising with all other fossil fuel costs), every year there are house fires and personal tragedies from burns. |
 |
|
| We are able to fund the 'bits' we need to buy with the hard currency which is earned from our export sales.
We have the local price fixed at F$365 (dollar a day, same as kero), but the system should produce
usable light for 20 years, with a battery replacement every 3-5 years. The price is quite aggressive,
as the Government of Fiji considers some of the components (wire) to be luxury items and carries a 27%
excise duty in addition to the 'normal' other duties and fees!
Joe has lived here his entire life; Michael and Kendra are relative newcomers, having been previously home based in Pago Pago, American Samoa between sailing trips around the Pacific Islands for the past 20 years. |

If you are out this direction, please visit us. We are also the managers of Waitui Marina. In general, ourselves and our manufacturing are located 30 nm east of the Point Passage light in Savusavu, one of the four authorized Customs check in points in the Fiji Islands. If you enjoy the big city, polluted water and crowds, go straight to Suva Harbor. If you enjoy fresh air, pleasant people and crystal clear water, this is the place! |
| Brian and Jan aboard s/v 'Another Angel', purchased our lights in Australia, and came up to visit our 'factory' in Bagasau and the office in Savusavu! You can too! |
