Lytefire Artisan Solar Oven + Artisan License

Technical Specifications:

Uses only direct concentrated sun ray, no fuel costs
Produces 3500 Watts of thermal energy
The combined surface of all mirrors is 5 square meters
Reaches up to 300°C in 45min
Even heat distribution for high quality baking
No automated tracking: you need to slightly turn the Lytefire every 10 mins to follow the sun
Width: 1.82m, length: 5.2m, height: 1.71m.
Requires a sunny flat space of at least 7 meters of diameter in which to operate with no shade
Baking technique: Using bread tins/pans improves the efficiency of baking as compared to regular bread baking. This is because the surface of the bread tin will transmit the heat quicker to the bread, and with the tins a lot more dough can be fit into the same oven as opposed placing bread loafs without tins. That being said, bread loafs are also very well baked in the solar oven.
Contains 5 square meters of mirrors
Easy to clean: only water and soap to clean the mirrors
When used and maintained properly, the Lytefire Artisan has a lifetime expectation of 16 years

What they say

Didier Ménard

Atelier Bélénos

«What attracted me to the Lytefire was the simplicity of the product, and the fact that it’s an extremely robust and a highly efficient mechanical unit. »

Michel Mouillé

"December 16 - almost the shortest days of the year!
This morning - 1° in the air, this afternoon 4°. Temperature reached 230°C with the oven. I could have gone higher without any problems, but it wasn’t useful for roasting. After buckwheat, I roasted spelt.
Emitting zero carbon to the atmosphere, 10 kg of roasted coffee substitute! The sun gives us free and abundant energy, so let’s make the most out of it!"

Jean-Yves Morard

Baker

"It’s clear that Lytefire is a pioneer in what could be the starting point for a new economy, one that’s much more virtuous and cleaner!"

Michel Mouillé

"Today is one of the shortest days of the year.
The sun is honoring us by celebrating the return of light and is flooding us with infrared.
Today it’s chickpea roasting for Fake Café thanks to Lucifaire my Lytefire solar concentrator. Thanks you, sun!"

Arnaud Crétot

NeoLoco

"Solar artisanats will soon be recognized as an instrument of the world of the future. And not only in France"

Clément Bresciani

Vagabonds de l’Energie

"It’s because we offer young people an experience that is both physical and sensory, and because the NeoLoco solar bakery is not far away, that our events with the solar oven have a real impact."

Didier Ménard

Atelier Bélénos

«I think Lytefire is an almost indispensable tool for the future. »

C’est parce qu’on propose aux jeunes une expérience physique et sensorielle,
et qu’il y a en plus l’expérience de la boulangerie solaire NeoLoco pas loin,
que nos événements avec le four solaire ont vraiment de l’impact.
