Camping Lantern

Very good, bright light, a torch is on the bottom too , charge via solar, wind handle or USB cable , small enough to stow away in a rucksack , cupboard or drawer. Pull up to switch on , push down to shut off, no switches to fumble for in the dark.

Edit (1st January 2023): the solar panel does charge the lantern but if I'm honest it was a little confusing. The light whilst charging normally goes out on the lantern once charged, but not while charging via solar. Which I understand because it's telling you that its receiving sun light I think. But do not do what I did and think it was taking 5 days to charge when it was only indicating that its receiving sunlight. A way to tell if its charged is to plug it in for a bit via a charger and the light should go off after a few minutes if it's charged. - (Original review: 29th May 2022) ⬇️ Got this lantern for camping, and woah, the battery lasts for ages, never used the solar to charge but I am currently testing it to see how good that charge is. Though the owners said that's just for top ups due to it taking roughly 2 days to fully charge on solar. Which in its self is amazing. One one charge it lasted me 24 hours plus with it constantly being on with no solar help and it only just started to go dim. I am now testing the solar panel from when the dimness started to see its rechargeable capabilities with no mains charging. Overall, its a pretty bright light that you can dim by sliding it back in its housing which I find a hilariously cute design. The build is good, good battery and I shall test the solar and edit this review, its also crank operated but I haven't tested that yet, as I'm trying to test various things without aiding the battery with other outside charging methods. All round good lantern.

Super bright lanterns that will cost you nothing to use, I brought my 3 in case of power cuts and for lighting the patio on summer nights - they are situated on windowsills around the house. Easy to use, to turn on you just pull the lantern up by the wire handles and if you push the lantern down partially you will reduce the light, if you push down fully the light goes off. There is also a bright flashlight on the bottom of the lantern, turned on by a button on the side. There are 3 ways to charge the lantern :- (1) solar power, that’s why I leave mine on the windowsills. (2) a wind up handle on the bottom of the lantern (3) USB charger, lead supplied in the box. Excellent wind up/solar lantern which gives a bright white light and even brighter flashlight ( see photos). Very compact and lightweight making them easily portable. My reason for only 4 stars is because the 2 lanterns I brought a couple of years ago have a solid/sturdy feel, but the one I purchased 5 months ago, at a reduced price, doesn’t feel so solid when I pull up /turn on or push down/turn off the lantern. That said, I am still a great fan of these lanterns and would recommend them.

It doesn't work well for charging phones but it makes a brilliant camping light and nightlight for children! I have had mine for a few years and it still works perfectly after many camping trips, if you forget to let it charge in the sun or to plug it in at home the crank at the base let's you get a decent bit of light and the kids love winding it up so mine is usually always fully charged lol!

Was in Spain a few weeks ago when we had a national blackout. We had phones, kindles, iPads, a few candles an torch and food to make a few sandwiches for tea. All the essentials, although we worried as the battery levels fell. It was unnerving, but we ‘survived’. But it made us think. The torch was fine to find things, but didn’t particularly light the room. So as soon as I got back I bought this. I specifically wanted a wind up and solar powered lamp. I wanted something that would light an area in a room (should a blackout occur). I’m not sure we could read a book by it (although perhaps if it was on a table by me I could possibly do so). But it’s certainly good enough to provide light. I also have a wind up/ solar radio. So if it happens again, well, we should have all bases covered. I chose the gold mainly because I like to be able to find things, and although it won’t go with my decor, I would prefer something that I can find easily. Seems sturdy, is very light to carry, and easy to use. Very happy, and will probably buy another.

Excellent lantern. We keep it in the caravan and it keeps it's charge via solar. The light is very bright. Good price for a useful camping light.

Bought this as an alternative to candles in an emergency. It works well and does appear to charge its self. Gives out a good amount of light when you need it.

I use this as an emergency backup in case of power outage. Once charged from the mains I leave it on the windowsill where the solar panel keeps it topped up so it will always be ready. It's lightweight but reasonably sturdy and the carry handle is great if I have to pop down to the shed after dark where I can then hang it from a hook in the ceiling. The addition of the charging output is also useful to get a bit of charge into a phone but is only rated at 1A so maybe a bit slow. This crank handle can only be used as a last resort because it is very hard work and doesn't recharge the unit very quickly. If you needed enough power for a few minutes light or to make an emergency call it would be fine. Although the light can be dimmed by partly retracting the lantern back into the housing this doesn't save any power because the led lights are still on, just not visible. However, it is possible to see them go off just before it closes completely. These are only minor quibbles that I expected and so it is still perfect for my purposes.

Mooie, handige lamp rap en makkelijk op te laden en geeft ook veel licht.

Great product for a country with many power outages 👍🏻. So far the quality seems decent

Piccola, pratica, semplice e funzionale

Ich habe die Lampe für den Notfall gekauft – und genau dafür ist sie auch gedacht. Sie wirkt durchdacht, funktional und kompakt, sodass man sie gut verstauen oder mitnehmen kann. Besonders praktisch finde ich die mehrfachen Lademöglichkeiten: Solar, Handkurbel oder USB – man ist also auch ohne Stromnetz jederzeit vorbereitet. Die Lampe selbst ist ausreichend hell für den Einsatz im Dunkeln, z. B. bei Stromausfall oder im Zelt. Die Verarbeitung ist in Ordnung, alles funktioniert wie beschrieben. Natürlich darf man keine High-End-Taschenlampe erwarten, aber für den Notfall ist sie absolut zweckmäßig und zuverlässig. Fazit: Eine sinnvolle Anschaffung für den Fall der Fälle. Besser haben als brauchen – und dafür genau richtig!

Die Laterne ist top! Über Solar, Handkurbel oder USB aufladbar– also immer Licht.Leicht, robust und richtig hell. Perfekt für unterwegs oder Notfälle. Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen!
