MPOWERDLuci Outdoor 2.0: Solar Inflatable Light

Perfect for summer nights outdoors!

I love my Coleman dual-fuel lanterns, my Feuerhand & Chalwyn hurricane lamps and the many LED lights I have from the best rated manufacturers. But this one really surprised me.A solar powered beach ball lantern?But, it weighs practically nothing packs down to a very small size and, when tested (with a bit of a sceptical expectation about the 24 hour on low setting claims), after 8 hours in bright sunlight, it gave out enough light to illuminate a small tent for just over 33 hours on low. YMMV. I was expecting serious drop-off at around the 12 hour mark. Didn't happen.The colour temperature is whiter, thus less yellow than I tend to like in a camping lantern, but it has survived some rigorous dunk testing and a brief period as a volleyball on a recent camping trip, so seems fairly robust. It's waterproof & floats too.Hanging straps top & bottom and a 3 position charge indicator add to the convenience & utility.Apparently every sale also benefits charitable distribution of these lanterns and technology to areas without a reliable supply of electricity around the world.Put it this way, I've ordered another.Edit - People seem to be having problems with the pinch valve when inflating.You only need to pinch to expand the lantern by pulling the top and bottom apart. When mostly expanded, a couple of breaths through the one way valve has the lantern fully inflated. Pinch the valve with your fingers and squeeze top and bottom together to rapidly deflate.When fully inflated you can still push the valve in to be pretty much flush.

When fully charged the lights only stays on for a short period and then runs out of battery. Not impressed. Glad I didn't take it hiking.

Bought this just as a back up for in the motorhome as a source of light,it's the most unbelievable thing I've certainly ever purchased,it's brilliant! It lasts from early evening until daybreak and is still going strong,I just leave it in the window of the van during the day & it charges itself back up via solar..it's a superb addition for times as a back up light source or whatever? It's super light too so I'll be taking it on my wild camping trips too 😁

Fantastic solar lights. We use them all over the house to save putting lights on and off. Brilliant.
