Camping Lantern, Rechargeable Camping Lights with Solar, Hand Crank and USB Charger, Collapsible Tent Light with Handles, Portable Electric LED Light for Outdoor Camping and Tent

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.

Just bought a 3rd one so my mum has one upstairs and downstairs. Amazing emergency light, solar panel keeps it charged but it's also rechargeable as well as a hand crank. Nice bright light. East to carry handle as well. Would recommend 100%

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.

This is a great idea to have as an emergency backup. Bright light. Easy to use. Lightweight.

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.

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.

I love that this lamp has variations of brightness by raising or lowering the top so it isn't so blinding when more ambient light is wanted. I use it at home as well as in the campervan. Because it is solar charged, I use it for a night light going to bed instead of putting the electric lamp on or if I get up in the night I use this lamp.One charge of the lamp lasts for several weeks but it isn't on for very long.The lamp gets charged at the window when there is enough sunlight to charge it up.

Serves its purpose. Very bright, last a few hours, doesn’t take too long to charge fully. Very useful and good value for money.
