Solar Camping Lantern

We love this lamp! It is bright, and easy to use, quite light weight so great for packing and chucking in bags when camping. We originally got it when traveling to Cuba as there is a electricity crisis over there and it is bright enough to light a room, it has a decent battery life, we never ran out, but we tend to charge every other day. We have since bought it again several times as we have given them as gifts to friends and family.

Great little lamp . Both solar and winding function work well. I keep it handy for emergencies .

top marks, its lightweight, easy to use, decent battery life, come with a solar panel and hand crank, can be used to charge you phone, or as a torch, for the price couldn't ask for more

The lantern works well and is bright enough to move around the house during a blackout or rummaging through the garden shed at night, but would not be your main lantern on a camping trip, it isn't bright enough. The solar panels are really only good enough to maintain the battery, it would take a year or more of sunny days to fully charge the battery - possibly longer. The hand crank is enough to get the lantern on, but you'll have to crank for half an hour to get ten minutes worth of light, so it's only good for emergency use - but I think that's the intention anyway. Generally you'll want to power the battery via USB. The torch is weak, but functional. In the write-up, it says you can dim the lantern by lowering the lights into the case, but this doesn't turn off any off the LEDs so it still consumes more power - but as it says, it will dim the light the lantern offers. The above comments are all negative, but the lantern is well made, collapses into a small package that is easy to find a spot for, and good value for the price range it sits in. If you want a camping lantern, you'll want something else, but if you want a lantern for emergencies, blackouts, and rummaging around in the garden shed at night, this is a good option. It is also useful as a battery for giving small charges to other devices such as a phone.

So far, so good! Even though it's small, it gives a very strong light, easy to recharge (3 different ways)

Easy to use, good value for money. Really versatile and lightweight. Charge rate really quick

Overpriced fo what it is. Battery drains quickly and light not so bright after second recharge.

Nice item
