Product Description

This rugged and attractive Solar Powered LED Lantern has 24 Super Bright LED lights. We carry this Solar Lantern because it is one of the best solar lanterns availabe. It has been purchased by many as a permanant light source for areas without electricity. This lanterns are a favorite in Africa. The LED's are durable and last an extremely long time. The internal rechargable battery is replaceable. This is vital for a solar lantern in this price range since all batteries will eventually run out of storage capacity. You replace the battery when needed not the whole unit. The 24 LED light source is reflected with 3-way diamond cut reflectors which makes for brilliant light output. The Solar Panel is attached so you never will lose it. It is also tiltable to capture the maximum amount of solar charge. It also has a portable carrying handle and bright orange emergency flashers.

This lantern is very bright and the solar panels really work to charge well. We have taken this camping with us only one time so far and we got enough sunlight during the day to completely charge the lantern for the next night. It also is very bright and puts off enough light. In fact, we like it so much that we have bought two more- another for us and one for a friend. It is wonderful not to have to carry any type of fuel or batteries when you go camping and that alone makes up for the price difference between this lantern and less expensive propane, kerosene or battery lanterns. Plus, you get the added benefit of helping the environment.
The only thing I cannot speak about is the long-term quality of the lanterns. We have only had ours for one month so I do not know how much rough treatment the solar panels will take.

I bought this unit for emergency lighting. I use it infrequently to "exercise" the light and battery. Solar charging on a bright day will take about 10 hours with a dead battery. The AC adapter will fully charge the unit in about 4 hours; I haven't tried the car charger to date. I find the light to be bright enough to read by--I'm an avid reader. An effective reflector really helps here. I have kept the light on for about four hours and have not noticed any appreciable fall off in brightness. I leave the light on during the day to drain the battery prior to recharging. I try to recharge using the fold down solar panels. The radio, in my location, has weak reception and requires constant tweaking of the antenna. I'm not sure of the utility of the flashing red lights--they're small--and I find the siren to be absurd. I wouldn't begin to consider using this light for backpacking, but if your bug-out bag includes your car, I would definitely bring it along. The true utility of this light, I feel, is in the home for emergency back up situations. A very good investment, in my humble opinion.
One major complaint: the people who "gift wrap" the package do not bother to pack this lamp in any shock absorbing materials; I do not believe the off the shelf packaging the light is shipped in is sufficient to protect the unit in certain cases and may result in someone receiving a damaged product.
